nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15396 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 8:01 pm First of all ... indeed to the family. Nice photos ... nothing wrong with them IMHO. Good job on them. To the coin ... not sure what you have here ... could be a significant clashed die strike ... but I doubt that. Could also be post-mint damage ( PMD) where someone squeezed the reverse of a cent into the obverse ... it does happen all the time. Waiting on the experts to opine.

liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 8:39 pm If nobody else noticed, on the obverse, the reverse image in a mirror image, not as it would be if struck. The only way this occurs is when another coin is compressed against it. Yes, brockages can give this efffect, so could other error types, but this is clearly an intentional alteration. Quite deceptive though, no argument. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 9:54 pm PMD. Squeezed between Two Cents, You can see where the rim on the obverse coin show in the field from another coin pressing/hammered onto the stack of Three Cents. If it were a flip over cent, the reverse would be off set as much as the obverse. Mirrored letters a real give a way. Edited by coop 03/06/2011 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
