 I'm just starting to look into coins and came across this penny that clearly has had a reverse image struck on the obverse. How rare is this? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Looks like glue - 2 cents were stuck together.

I'm thinking glue or congealed liquid. Try giving the coin a loooong soak in 100% acetone--might remove or reduce that gunk.

How rare is this? Not rare as this is the second thread posted to CCF about this phenomenon in less than two hours. Here is a link to the other one: http://goccf.com/t/471021 Also, welcome to CCF! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

To CCF! Sorry, but it's just glue. Worth face value, as it's not an error. Errers and Varietys.

Sorry, piece of junk. Yet another unnecessarily rude and uncalled for comment, deserving of a meaningful open response from the mods. Not a piece of junk, just a damaged cent posted by a brand new member who came here looking for some information, not judgment. |

to the OP: to CCF this coin you presented appears to have a glue or other substance on it. when it was wet or mailable, another coin was pressed against it making an impression of it on your coin. To CoinFrog: You need to watch what you say and how it comes across to the others here. Belittling the coins that come across the forums here and the way you do it is very unnecessary, undesired, and unwanted. The new folks that are joining have little or next to nothing in experience that we have when examining a coin in hand. Not only does it take away from the experience of these new collectors, it can very well ruin it for them too. |

to the CCF and  We see a lot of glue around here. I'd guess it's in the top 3 questions here. |

You had a good eye to spot the unusual coin. As others have said, it's likely just glue or another sticky substance. If the reverse design is actually pressed into the coin metal itself, then it is almost certainly a vise job.
