neferu New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/26/2006 6:52 pm Came across this today-complete reverse of image front and back. Also metal bump in front of Lincoln's nose, looks like off center stamping also. Don't have an error book, can someone help if this is listed? Thank u much!!

peachymargarita Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 11/26/2006 7:05 pm I'm a little confused. Are we looking at the coin on the right? And the left is for comparison? If that is the case I think what you have here is a post mint squeeze job. Looks like someone took a blank planchet and squeezed struck coins into it. Are the letters pressed in or are they sticking out? If they are pressed in then it is more likely to be a squeeze job. Michael Report this Post to the Staff

peachymargarita Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 11/26/2006 9:20 pm Could be that it is not a genuine copper planchet. I mean if you are going to fake a coin why not fake a planchet also. Report this Post to the Staff
