[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 2674759, member: 78298"]Spark erosion like the 1959 wheat back cent? Except the two obverses are very similar, as if they were produced from the same discarded die. I imagine some mint employee made this. Felt on one side of the coin thick enough not to strike through. Then the coin is flipped over, and the felt protecting the obverse. And minting a second obverse on the same coin. The obverses seem to have been produced from 1 and not 2 obverse dies. Produced during downtime, or cleaning.[/QUOTE]
