[QUOTE="Hawksabo, post: 3560681, member: 104221"]Hello to all! I'm still fairly new to the world of numismatic, so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I stumbled across this little guy a couple weeks ago, and am unsure what type of error (if any) it would be considered? It looks like extra words/letters were struck into the coin, but mirrored/backwards. From the research, I believe it would be a brockage? It seems most noticable in AMERICA on the reverse. Photos are attached below. I read that this could be done outside of the minting process? Is there any way to determine how?Any input/corrections would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the photo quality. [ATTACH=full]946739[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]946744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]946745[/ATTACH] It's most noticeable in the M, but it is definitely a T that looks stamped into it. After obsessing over it for a couple days, it looks like TRUST, but mirrored/backwards. [ATTACH=full]946748[/ATTACH] I believe that is an R struck in between/into the IC portion of AMERICA. Again, any information/guidance would be appreciated. The examples I found on google all seemed a bit more extreme than mine. I can happily post more photos, if needed. Thanks everybody![/QUOTE]
