Neat. But altered. It isn't a real error.

 

It's a one of a kind, piece of art ..
Cool ........

 

How did you acquire it?

@JCro57 check this out!

 

Looks like a real Ike that was struck by a fake LMC reverse transfer die. The cent die is mushy with lots of raised metal anomolies. It's not a real die.

 

Man made and not done at the mint. It's a neat novelty but that's about it.

 

I think i would have liked it better if the die imprint was the same orientation as the Ike reverse. Would have made a pretty neat piece that way.

 

Post-mint engineered coin.

 

Thanks everyone for your help.

 

As OldHoopster said, The LMC die is counterfeit. It was cast, as noted by weak details and bubbles in the fields.
In addition, instead of being seated in between the two middle pillars, Abe appears to be peaking out from behind the 5th column from the viewer’s left.

 

This. Fake error made using a fake cent die struck on a genuine Ike dollar.

 

Totally agree...Spark

 

Welcome to CT @JAMES RONDINONE. As already mentioned, your 1.01¢ piece was a man-made novelty and not a mint error. Is is real, sure, but not made by the mint, man-made. A fun item to hang on to IMHO. I wonder how a cashier would deal with it. LOL

 

As an altered coin, as with damaged currency, the Ike has been destroyed. A bank would give a dollar currency as replacement and confiscate the franken-coin for turn-in to the Mint for complete destruction. The Mint and the BEP both have procedures to replace damaged items. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing takes 4 to 5 months, currently, the Mint is probably similar for banking accumulations...Spark

 

You fellows have good eyes.

 

Very well put.

 

Thanks again.

 

There is no way this coin would be bent upon impact the way it is. The dollar has reeding, which means it was struck completely inside the collar. Thus the coin should be flat.

Absolutely a fake reverse strike. No question about it.

 

Especially @Scuba4fun777 The only one who mentioned the placement of Lincoln between the columns.
