<p>[QUOTE=&quot;garthfan, post: 33457, member: 2068&quot;]We found this penny in our change today and are trying to get some information on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the pictures:&nbsp; <a href="http://public.fotki.com/highlander77/lincoln_penny/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://public.fotki.com/highlander77/lincoln_penny/" rel="nofollow">http://public.fotki.com/highlander77/lincoln_penny/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;tails&quot; side of the penny is a very nicely struck normal image.&nbsp; The &quot;heads&quot; side, however, is concave and carries two images:&nbsp; The most obvious image is an enlarged, reversed (mirror) Memorial and &quot;E Pluribus Unum&quot;.&nbsp; Very faintly, however, you can also see the outline of the Lincoln head which should be there instead.&nbsp; No date is visible.&nbsp; Based on my own metal-working experience, I&#039;m convinced by virtue of inspecting the integrity of the coin and the metal that this is not a post-mint error or a &quot;manufactured fake&quot;.&nbsp; But, having little numismatic experience, I do not know exactly what it is or what caused it.&nbsp; Is this what is known as a &quot;brockage strike&quot;???</p><p><br /></p><p>Any information greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
