divesww New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 9:05 pm In searching through coins obtained from a bank bag of coins we uncovered this coin that has a 1971 Lincoln Cent obverse and a Roosevelt dime reverse. The Roosevelt dime appears to be embedded inside the Lincoln Cent as the outside rim is from the copper cent. The ridges of the dime's rim can be seen inside the copper rim. Could this be created by a minting error or is this someone's elaborate concoction? Thanks for looking and responding. Report this Post to the Staff
