BizzyBonez Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 10:47 am I have this 1896 Indian Head penny and on the reverse it has what I think constitutes as an error but I really don't know. I posted a couple pictures. If the pictures aren't good enough let me know and I will take some more. Thanks for any help. You guys/gals rock! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 12:09 pm Will need an image on the obverse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/22/2023 1:00 pm @biz, the reason why we are all asking for a pic of the obverse is that those flat spots most likely are corresponding to mechanical damage on the front.
