Message:: [QUOTE="donnyb, post: 385080, member: 6309"]As a dedicated roll searcher, I came across a example of a 79D Lincoln cent which appears to be a product of poor planchet adhesion. In as much the obverse side has a thin copper coat welded, bonded, well better still struct by the coining press of the reverse over the obverse of the coin. The date is full with 197 stamped in both layers and the 9 on the edge of the thin layer and the original planchet. Liberty on the obverse is Lib on the planchet and erty on both layers. I would guess the planchet from a previous strike seperated on the reverse and some how stuck to the obverse die and was restruct on the  top of the cent with the obverse die. The only confusion is the word cents, you can see it, in reverse on the bottom of the cent. The Lincoln Memorial is clearly crosses Lincoln's head? This is a circulated coin, I would grade at VF+. Any one ever seen such?[/QUOTE]
