i have a 1967 penny and on the reverse-a second memorial is stamped over the the first at about a 45 degree angle rotated to the left. what is strange is that the second strike is not raised like the first memorial-it is the opposite and is indented along with the unum into the raised first memorial at that 45 degree angle. on the obverse is some rotational damage in two places on the edge and also some rotational scoring on the whole face like bulleyes scratching (multiple faint circles decreasing in size). any ideas. sorry for no pics as yet. is it worth pursuing? I'm all most sure this is a mint error- its to precise of a indentation to be made by someone

We will just wait for images, not too much can be said without.

@bell, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes please give us a picture which is in better focus. These are almost always damage (vise jobs), but a clearer pic will help us be sure that it isn't something more interesting, like a mint error. Thx.

@bell742 sorry to say both photos are too blurry and dark for proper assessment ... the better the picture, the better responses and help you will receive. The following link may be useful: http://goccf.com/t/422658 |

Ok yes that last one was perfect. Thx for sticking with it!
Seeing that some of the text is backwards, I feel quite certain that you have a vise job here. For completeness though it would be nice to see if there is a corresponding flat spot or similar damage on the obverse. Any chance of you adding an overall pic of the front of this cent? Thx.

Fully agree with Spence: Quote:

I agree with the "Vise Job" responses above!
As stated, look for the secondary image on the coin to be backwards,
very common occurrence for some reason...people get bored I suppose.

It is also preferable they a FULL coin image of both sides also be uploaded not just a section of a coin. it help in a diagnosis. However, that being said - this is a 'Vise Job' cent. |
