Ive never found one of these before. This is a penny that was struck then put under the press again to be restruck.  Edited by Cud Wild

By the way, I have no idea why you would say this is not an error coin. If it turns out to be what you say it is (and it looks legit to me), you definitely have an error, and a valuable one at that. These are NOT common at all.

It certainly looks like a genuine flipover, in-collar double strike to me. Nice find.

Flipover? I thought that would be obverse on reverse, reverse on obverse. This looks like reverse on reverse.

Appears from the image as a double struck. A very nice error coin. The obverse would tell more of the story.

The obverse is struck twice too and its the same date. I can vaguely make out the detail on the front. I can see the 82 by the head of Lincoln. I personally thought this wasnt an error because this is an error I'm not firmiliar with. I'm only firmiliar with what I find in circulation.

The presses strike a gazillion coins a minute and this would have all happened in the blink of an eye. The coin would have failed to eject and then been re-struck. But anyway, let's see the rest of the coin! It's refreshing when real errors show up. |

Heres a picture of the front. In this picture because I suck at photography you can see where Liberty is under the date. Where the top of the head is below the shoulder. I cant capture the date or IN since all the detail is very hard to see on the front.  |

Without a doubt that's what it is, and Scooby is correct. The coin doesn't "go through" again. The two strikes happen inside the time frame of a single second.

Sorry, it's obviously not a flipover double strike. I don't know what I could have been thinking. It's an in-collar double strike with rotation between strikes.

Thank you everyone. It did make my day when I found this. The reason I thought it was a coin that was put back under the press to be restruck because I've heard of people doing that yrs ago. There was a coin on here a few yrs back of a silver quarter from the 1970s that was done that way if I'm correct. To be restruck at almost 180 degrees in a split second I personally didnt think was possible for a coin to move that far off before being struck again. Thank you for the info and knowledge of this coin now I understand a little more of this type of error.

Hey Cud Wild- There are RARE instances where an already struck coin accidentally finds it's way into the blank planchet hopper and is "re-coined" but this isn't done by someone placing it between the die. Everything is fed into the die mechanically at great speed. Such examples of a coin being struck, and then being fed back through and struck could be a 1988 cent struck on a 1988 dime or like you mentioned, a silver quarter could have intentionally been put with unstruck planchets to be struck again. These are extremely rare occurrences. Double struck coins are quite rare, but happen more frequently than the aforementioned. Very cool coin, lots of people learning from this thread. Thanks so much for sharing! |
