Message:: [QUOTE="rascal, post: 1111917, member: 29239"]I found this thing about 3 years ago while looking thru my huge amount of wheat backs. I had already looked thru these coins at least twice before I finally noticed this one. I saw one just like this one on Ebay a long time ago and told the seller his coin was altered. I wish now I had not done that. I suppose about anything can happen to a coin at the mint. this coin has a reeded edge with a slanted tilt to the reeding. this appears to be a true mint error because the coin still has it's nice [ATTACH]111577.vB[/ATTACH]original brown tone yo it and the reeded edge also has the same identical brown toning. I have had the coin for over 30 years in a coffee can [ATTACH]111576.vB[/ATTACH]and never knew it was there until lately. maybe the planchet got stuck in a dime reeding machine before being struck and this may account for [ATTACH]111575.vB[/ATTACH]the slanted reeding because the planchet may have not fit right. either way it is a good conversation piece regardless of what happened to it.[ATTACH]111574.vB[/ATTACH].   I'm also adding photos of a unusal double struck cent I found a while back. the unusal thing about this one is that the coin was rotated between strikes and now one set of the letters are on top of the other set of letters and can be identified as to which letters they are.[ATTACH]111581.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
