3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 07:53 am As I was searching through a box of cents, I discovered this strange error: Here is a close up: Take the yellow line and flip it over to the blue line: They're the same...so can anyone identify this error? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 08:15 am I don't think this is glue, since you can see "LIBERT" spelled backwards underneath. Report this Post to the Staff

rmk1025 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 09:15 am That backwards writing is very strange, I just cant imagine where in the coin making process an error like that could happen. I feel like its probably glue like the other members have said. otherwise, could it possibly be lamination? Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 09:46 am Two coins were glued together. The backwards liberty is an impression left on the glue from the other coin. Soak it in acetone and the glue will come off. Report this Post to the Staff

BILL99 Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 12:58 pm If you put 2 pennys together in a vise, will they leave these marks on each other? Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 2:15 pm i agree with others, PMD, if I were to be convinced it were an error, LIBERTY would have to be spelled forward, Lincoln Cent dies can never ever mint a coin with lettering spelled backwards (except for maybe a brockage) Report this Post to the Staff
3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/24/2011 07:29 am I removed the glue and you were all right, "LIBERT" was gone. All well, live and learn. Report this Post to the Staff
