[QUOTE="copout1340, post: 2019829, member: 72732"]Good evening, About a year ago I purchased an estate collect and I'm still going through it. Today I was sorting through a lot of Large Cents and found an 1825 US Large Cent. The condition isn't bad at all, most of the details are good (see attached photos), but this one is special. Both sides are reversed (backwards). If you were just to take a fast look, you would think it was a regular Large Cent. The date on the front is backwards, and the profile is facing right instead of left, and the word 'liberty' is backward. On the reverse, everything is incused and the printing is again backwards. If you were to put it up to a mirror and look at both sides, it would be a standard 1825 Large Cent. I only found information about one side being brockaged, with the reverse stamp being the same at the front. This one is a complete Large Cent, except it is all backwards. The weight is 9 grams, but I weighed a couple other Large Cents and they are also 9 grams (my scale may be off). No size difference, everything looks normal (except the backwards part). Have you ever seen this??? Hope you can answer this for me. Thanks for your time, Robert[/QUOTE]
