Hope this is the right forum.New to this. We have a 1859 Indian Head penny both sides are written backwards and head is also backwards.Can anyone help? Thank you
If both sides are backwards, then what you've got is most likely a crude counterfeit coin that someone's made by squeezing a blank piece of copper or brass in between two normal coins. In this thread there's a similar piece, except in that case the "blank piece of copper or brass" was actually an old brass button.
