1974 D Penny

I've been collecting coins since I was a kid and I've had this penny since 1997. I have no idea of what the value is but I know it's the most interesting coin I've ever seen. On it is a 1974 D stamp but also 1968 s is stamped backward so I'm confused. can anyone please tell me more about my penny?

Can you take some better pictures for us?

 

Sorry to say that it is just a squeeze job. Someone was having fun with a bench vice.

 

squeeze job. no need for better pictures.

 

I was thinking that. I wanted to see the other side of the coin and see the vice marks.

Never mind, I think I see it.

 

The giveaway that it was a "squeeze-job" is that the letters of LIBERTY and the date are backwards.

It's all been said but it makes me want to go create a few of my own. With a little thought, my vise and the right line-ups, I could sell them off as works of art. lol

 

ERRRRGH. Also known as a squeeze-job.

I think I caught the culprit red handed!!

 

Someone was playing around with a vice grip. PMD.

 

Just don't try to make an 11-cent coin. It has already been done.

100% NO!

 

Before you dream of a million dollar find, you should first find out if it's real.. Sorry but everyone is correct in that it is a Vise, squeeze job. It is very interesting though!

 

If you ever see a backwards and incused image it is PMD - Post Mint Damage
