johnskas New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/25/2024 9:48 pm I'm new here, so I apologize for any errors. I have a modern US Nickel, I cannot see the date. Back seems normal. Nearly perfectly centered on the front at a 90 degree angle is the back of a US penny in reverse. I can see the Lincoln Memorial and "ONE CENT" backwards. I'm looking for any information about it and I have no idea where to start. Thank you for any help. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

What you have there is an example of a vise job - coins were squeezed together in a vise, leaving reverse impressions on each other. This is post-mint damage ( PMD) with no numismatic premium.
