<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pennies_aplenty, post: 2529110, member: 82163&quot;]This penny is stamped twice on both sides and rotated the same angle on both sides. It wasn&#039;t struck against another penny with a hammer because:</p><p>1) Lincoln is a silhouette on the obverse, and only his outline is stamped</p><p>2) The doubled lettering is not backwards on either side</p><p>3) The heavier stamp is stamped over the lighter stamp in some places, and the lighter stamp over the heavier stamp on other places. This is true of both sides of the coin.</p><p>4) The edge is split, which looks more like a mint error than a hammer strike</p><p>5) All design elements are raised. They don&#039;t go into the coin like they would if the double stamp had been made with a hammer</p><p>6) The angle of stamp rotation is the same on both sides</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me what kind of error this is? How much is it worth? Should I get a professional coin grading service to look at it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
