    image.jpg Hello all, I was going through some pennies that I had when I came across this. It looked like damage at first until I took a closer look. There is the word, “CENT” written backwards on the obverse of the penny! What happened to produce this? Thank you all.

    It's called "a vice job" as in two coins were pressed together - after they left the mint - in a vice, leaving a reverse impression on each other.
