My friend found this one searching through a roll of coins. I’ve looked all over online to see if I could find another to get an idea of the value but I couldn’t find any matches. What do you think? I haven’t seen the coin in person yet to examine it but my friend says the shield is raised and not incuse which tells me it is made by an original die however the entire field is reversed. Thanks in advance for your comments!
PMD, a "squeeze job" One coin squeezed by another, if you look the image is reversed. Clear evidence of a Post Mint Damage
Why wouldn’t the entire reverse show then? It’s only partially there. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is 95% just not there.
Looks like glue. See the bubbles? Somebody put clear glue or something similar on the obverse and pressed the reverse of another cent into it. It will probably come off with acetone or xylene. It's PMD, not an error Hope this helps
In the case of strikethrough, the details on the obverse look much more mushy if it comes from the reverse.
Won't happen. It'll come off, but you need a jackhammer. It's adhesive of some kind, that's right. Paint stripper (xylene) won't even disturb it, and I've tried that on these, and more.
You say it's some kind of adhesive but you don't know what kind of adhesive? But you know that acetone or xylene won't disturb it. It's not your coin and you know all this for a fact?.....Okay. Maybe the OP should start with acetone and go through the process of elimination. What do you think?
Just hope he takes your advice and posts the results of an acetone-soak, here. You'll learn something you didn't know for the next time you see one of these.
As stated, it's damaged and it was placed in a vise with another coin and there you have a man made after it left the Mint error coin. Welcome to CT.
