Message:: [QUOTE="LisaMicheleL, post: 462461, member: 16239"]Hi all. I have to be honest I'm just learning about coins and errors and my head is just spinning! I think I may be hooked. In searching through my huge change jar I found this (pic included). It's a perfectly fine nickel on one side and on the back you can make out the nickel's outline and some of monticello (I think it is right?) but over that is SOME penny. The coin is no thicker, no heavier and I have pics of it along side a "regular" nickel to be certain. At first I thought possibly they were somehow stuck together but the writing on the "penny" on the back is in reverse! The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE CENT, E PLURIBUS, it's all in reverse. I don't know of anyway that someone could actually forge that by hand...so I'm thinking it's a genuine mint error. Any thoughts, advice or suggestions would be great! Thanks so much in advance, I've got lots to learn!<img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/7/6/3/3/2/webimg/198042158_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />   <img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/7/6/3/3/2/webimg/198025815_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
