jp3der New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 9:00 pm Hello all... Again sorry for the newbie questions... Still learning every day with the coin community. I have a question about types of errors. Honestly I am not sure how to even use the appropriate words to do research with what I found, thus leaving me against a wall. I will post a picture in a few days but for the time being my question is this. I have a coin, when obverse facing upwards appears to be a 1920 Mercury dime... Upon flipping over, the reverse shows a Wheat penny reverse. So it is a sandwich of a Mercury dime obverse with a Wheat penny reverse. Any ideas? A gag coin? Are these errors true? Thanks Moved by Forum Mom from World Variety & Error Coins to Classic US Variety & Error Coins Report this Post to the Staff
