The reverse of normal cent was pressed into the obverse of your cent. If the Memorial is restricted to the field, then you've got an example of clashed dies.   01-13-2005, 06:24 PM   #3 (permalink) jody526 Sic Semper Tyrannis     Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Patrick County, Virginia Posts: 3,044 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by calli I have a 1964 penny with the back stamped on top of the front, in other words lincolns face and the memorial are stamped on the same side with the back being normal could I get some feedback?
