I doubt it since it takes a lot of popularity to get ANYTHING in the CPG. While your coin may be uncommon to you, it's by no means rare. Just...
Upwards of 300,000 George Washington MEL coins were released to Florida banks. This fellow found over 11,000 or them in a multi-box purchase....
If the lettering is backwards, it's most definitely an altered coin.

The only place I've seen the US Mint "selling" the blank cent planchets were in the set I displayed above. Other than that, they were given to the...
