    Still don't know why the picture was removed and if it was a glue job why were the letters raised? It puzzles me.

    The raised appearance is undoubtedly an illusion. They would have to be incuse.

    Illusion. Case closed.

    The only way you can get a raised mirror image is if:

    1) The normal design is incuse. Like the legend "THE OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN" on the New Hampshire quarter.

    2) You have a very light die clash, where only the field portion between the design leaves a trace on the opposite die.

    This coin qualifies on neither count.
