<p>[QUOTE=&quot;No_Ragrets, post: 26652453, member: 151874&quot;]I just picked this one up today, but wasn&#039;t overly certain about what actually happened to this coin until I got it under my scope. Looking through the old Capital Plastic holder in the shop with a loupe only lead to confusion with minimal ideas as to what this is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once at home, I took it out of the holder and put it under the scope. I was absolutely floored by seeing this, and I&#039;m still thoroughly confused as to what the heck happened to this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Design transfer on both obverse and reverse, but right-side-up and left to right lettering (as in <i>all</i> of it). What I thought in the shop to be a major die crack (or maybe planchet flaw?) on the reverse&nbsp; ends up being Lincoln&#039;s silhouette, but not inverted like a clash.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what are your thoughts on this coin? The only feasible thing I can come up with is that it&#039;s double-struck, but with the coin being flipped over between strikes for getting both designs on each side of the coin. Crazy as it sounds, that&#039;s the only thing that&#039;s coming to my mind. Maybe another bored mint employee special? Thanks for any help! </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post some additional scope pictures soon. Here&#039;s what Ive got so far.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1700346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700347[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700353[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700355[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
