MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 6:18 pm Not an error. It looks like a vise job, someone impressed another cent upon it under pressure. Notice the backwards lettering. PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

If you do not agree, you can send it in for authentication and grading and any of the grading services will be more than willing to accommodate you and relieve you of some of your money!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73760 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 7:40 pm It's a Vise Job. It's PMD, not an error. We see these a lot here on CCF. https://www.error-ref.com/squeeze-j...-garage-job/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 9:05 pm The good news is that you are correct @shay that this oddity isn't a result of glue residue. As noted above, however, you have a vise job here and the coin is only worth face value.
