Can you tell if the word LIBERTY is raised or incuse? Something doesn't look quite right...

 

Its raised

I am having issues with this myself. It was only struck one time and the reverse is normal and it weighs 2.5 and all the proportions on secondary image are correct

The other Liberty lol

It definitely looks incuse.

I like it--has me wondering how the heck??

 

Very interesting, can't wait to see if anyone knows anything about what went on there

 

you sure it is raised? really looks incuse to me. if it is incuse, i'd say this was a press job, or whatever they call it.

otherwise, this is a pretty unique error.

 

Pretty neat. The rims look unblemished.

 

It's a squeeze job. Look at the R in liberty. You can see it clearly that it is incuse.

 

so--to understand this---squeeze job-I would have to 'squeeze a coin to get the 'backwards' letters, then turn right around and squeeze this example with out hitting the rim? Man that's a lot of work for just a cent!!

Never know might be worth millions--or just a cent--

 

Mike Diamond has already attributed this coins as struck through a detached die dap.

so the 'r' was good---nice find

 

That is a crazy looking penny.

 

die dap, very dapper

 

Looks cool.
