fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 12:48 am I think the die is slightly misaligned but nothing significant enough to impart any error value to the coin; within normal mint tolerances. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 07:04 am If your referring to the ridge under IGWT I think that's from a deteriorated die. The mirrored reverse you speak of is pretty common on wheats. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 08:57 am Okay...I see nothing here about a misaligned die. It's normal. John is correct in that the area affected in the motto is Die Deterioration. And I've never seen the reverse of any cent minted with the words backwards. I just figured that part was a joke.

timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 09:26 am Not mirrored, just flipped to show the affected area on the reverse line up with the affected area on the obverse. They seemed to coincide. I did add the question mark in the title. Sorry I didn't explain further. I thought it was fairly obvious. Deteriorated die, thanks John!

It's in the medal position It's not in the medal position, it's flipped in a photo program. No amount of rotation will make that reverse correct. If that reverse actually looks like that, it's either incredibly rare or doctored. Report this Post to the Staff
