    Hey everyone!
    Just was going through my 70s pennies and found this oddity! Anyone ever seen this before?
    Thanks in advance! I don’t know much about this kind of stuff I just enjoy looking for rarities, so any information would be greatly appreciated!

    You’re saying some individual did this and it didn’t happen at the mint?

    If it happened at the mint the writing on the coin wouldn't be backward.

    Just because any coin that looks odd or strange does not automatically make it a Mint Error. There are many ways they can be damaged after it leaves the US mint. It takes time to understand the difference ;)
