[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 168583, member: 6763"]Shawna: I see what you are talking about, but think about it, you are showing the mistrike of the reverse on both the obverse and the reverse. How could this have been done? Simply put: not very likely. More likely, done outside of the mint. Hint: look to see if the letters around the figure of theLincoln memorial are reversed. Then, most likely it is a sandwich job. Simply put a coin between two others and hit with a hammer. Instand error, except that it is reversed. If it was a mint error, clashed dies, etc. then one side should show the obverse as a clash. Or, v-e-r-y unlikely, two coins stuck in the dies, were kept there and then your planchet was struck, but then, there would not be a nice strike on the original coin. I think definately outside the mint.[/QUOTE]
