Thanks, I thought so too. When I opened that envelope that Ah ha switch turned on. Even though the coins in the subject investigation must have...
Nice find. I only have one. My wife owned several beauty shops over the years and always brought me the SBA's she would receive. As everyone...
I think I found the culprit. I just received an solicitation from a charity. Inside were a dime and a penny. Under each was glue to hold them on...
You might be able to do that with a dime.
At best you can get 2 letters of the ASE Liberty to fit in the field of a penny.
I never thought it was a mint error either. But, what coin does the glue impression come from? I can't find any coins that the size of the letters...
True. I have only one dated 1976. It has the Liberty Bell and an outline of the USA.
These are fun. I have a Kennedy, gut, like paddyman98 says, mine is a little higher above the sate.

Well, I don't doubt but don't want to do that. It looks like the word LIBERTY is raised letters. The method you described would impress the letters.
Sometimes you hit a spot where somebody (child perhaps) has spent some change from a collection. It is fun, but I always feel for the person whose...
Yes, I agree. But, I as interested in how it may have been done. Thanks.
Dave - how do you suppose the impression of the word LIBERTY backwards could have been done? It is impressed across the shoulder from right to left.
All great finds. The BEST find I ever had in change was a Twenty Cent piece. It was given to me back in the 50's in change as 25 cents. I had to...
Well, since I started in 1948, I was still finding Indian Heads. But the oldest Wheat Cent would be a 1909 VDB.
Thanks. I haven't been able to find any reference to the scarcity or value of them. But, they are nice.
