what kind of error is this and where can I find more details about this error. Looks like a coin on top of a coin (mirror type error) doubling  |

Very likely deliberate damage ('vise job')--that mirror image is the indicator.

thnx for the replies, much appreciated. Still not completely convinced this is outside the mint mirror, been reading a lot on mirror re-punched mint errors and found a few references. thanks all

Have seen too many of these. It is a vise job.

It's not an error. We've seen plenty of these posted on the forum.
Errers and Varietys.

Guys, I know this is not a error, as you said somebody did it, so to be legit the letters have to be backward? Like this?:  gigi2110

@gigi — no, reverse lettering is a vise job. A legitimate doubling of a die would not be backwards.

gigi, put a zincoln on top of another one and place on concrete. Bash with a hammer. Observe resulting mess. Throw zincolns away.
