<p>[QUOTE="Alan Mac, post: 1829565, member: 59574"]First, thank you for all your replies. I thought the most likely explanation was that someone had hammered two coins together (I didn't see why the mint would have a "reverse" die) and how would a genuine error like that go unnoticed for so many years. The things that made me wonder about the origin was that the "reverse" lettering looked very cleanly indented, like it was done with a metal much stronger than copper. I also saw the word LIBERTY was still standing-up while it was in an area of the coin that was indented. It looked to me as though the "reverse" image was stamped into the coin after the Lincoln bust was put on (cut into the bust), but before the LIBERTY was put on (LIBERTY stands up in a recessed area) - but this would be impossible as I would imagine that the bust and LIBERTY are stamped at the same time. Well, it is just something that I stumbled across in a hand full of change - my total investment: $.01.</p><p> </p><p>Alan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
