[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2392769, member: 24544"]This coins is PMD for sure. Think through the minting process on how this would happen. This coin has the obverse imprint of another penny on the reverse side. So the reverse was struck first, then the obverse side of another coin was present facing the reverse side of this coin, and it was struck again. There is literally no way for this to happen during minting. In order for the coin which left the obverse imprint on this one to do that, it would have to be in the dies before this coin was struck. But if that were the case, this coin could not be struck by the reverse die, as the other coin would be stuck to it. Likewise, this coin could have been the first coin in the dies, and receive the reverse strike. But if it stuck to the obverse die while another coin was feed into the dies, the second coin would not receive the obverse image, which then would not be transferred to this coin. There is literally no way for this coin to get a full reverse strike, followed by an obverse impression from another coin at the mint. This was done outside the mint. Edited, darn... Didn't realize this was a resurrected thread. Who ever resurrected it, you have to post pictures of the specific coin for us to comment. Just saying you found a real unifaced coin does not make all unifaced coins real. The one the OP posted is clearly PMD.[/QUOTE]
