[QUOTE="Coin Counter, post: 2173072, member: 74858"]Hello! A few years ago (around the time I started CoinRollHunting) I found this 1982, Denver, copper cent that appears to have part of the reverse stamped on the obverse and I have been confused about its origins ever since. When I first found it I thought it was somehow struck again with the reverse die but then soon realized it it couldn't have been struck again without flattening the rim of the coin. (Also because there's only part of the reverse which I kinda weird..) So then for a while I thought it was a die clash but it couldn't be that either and now I don't know what to think! I have looked everywhere I can on the Internet to find an Error like mine but have found nothing! At this point my only theories are that it's either fake or some weird kind of PostMintDamage. I have trouble believing it's fake though because it passed the magnet test, everything else looks normal about the coin, and it's weight was normal for a copper cent (Well it weighed 3.10 g instead of 3.11 g but it's such a tiny difference) But I also know people can make really good face so I guess what I'm trying to say is, I Have no Idea! :banghead: But anyways enough with my jabbering, here are the pictures of the coin: [ATTACH=full]419839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419840[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419841[/ATTACH] P.S. Also when I rub my finger over the spot where the "Error" is, it feels like it goes up.[/QUOTE]
