I'm pretty new to coin collecting, and I'm pretty sure I don't have anything, but I was curious if any of these are common or if they are just damaged? And then I also have this penny that I'm not sure if it's fake or real? It has the tail printed on the front ontop of the front of the penny, and then. It's double printed on the back as well? I really have no idea and would like some insight on any info anyone can provide, I'm very new and found this from a YouTube video.
Welcome to CT Hard to view the jpg files If you choose the Full Image before you post, we can enlarge and give better opinions. Example on my 1999 You might be able to edit for a short time I agree with Spark on vise job.
What is a vice job exactly? Someone trying to false a coin? Should I toss the penny in my other coins and just forget about it?
When you see incused and backwards it was pressed by other coins using force. Also.. there is no printing in coins. There is no ink used during the minting process.
Some US cents use a different reverse than normal. The 1999 I used as an example for ‘Full Image’ is a WAM, Wide A M Hard to find now in decent condition after 20 years. I’m sorry for the college question so early in your education Larry
