    Hi, just opened a roll and found one sort of slightly bent. Looked at it and it seems as if there is a "reverse side strike" (i don't know terminology) directly through FDRs forehead. It says TED STA but in a mirrored way. Also on the back but on the other side of the coin the is another semi circle through the D and I in dime up along the torch then through the M and I in america. There is also some reeding where the indent meets the torch.

    I tried to get some scans but my scanner is acting up so here are pics from my phone (sorry they are bad). Any value here besides the cool factor?

    A coin with additional lettering or devices that are 'reversed' is usually a sign of a squeeze job, where someone trying to create a salable error squeezes 2 coins in a vise or similar to impress a reversed image on original coin. Damaged coin I believe.

    Pictures aren't great but judging from what you are describing it sounds like a vice job (damage). Keep up the hunt!
