    in hand at an angle you can see 1976 date but note how CRISP the back is proving no vice or other pressure device was used other than the mint. (vice or hammer would leave a flattened mark over the entire reverse of the coin no matter what padding you used IE: rubber tire, leather strip, cloth all would cause a flattened surface if pressure is on the obverse. (try it with YOUR vice... 1976 cent ron rev cap..jpg 1976 ron obv. cap.jpg experiment with it)

    That's cool!
    Looks like a more severe version of this coin I found while CRH a few years ago.

    It could be an indent or partial brockage error.

    Nice. Definitely a Mint Error.

    There are several possible diagnoses: (1) a 90% "indent" (indentation from an unstruck planchet); (2) struck through a partial (off-center) uniface die cap; (3) struck through an elliptical clip planchet (possibly split or rolled-thin). The sharp internal margin suggests that scenario no. 3 might be the correct one.

    A beautiful mint error! I think you’ve been holding out on us. :)
