Just Bob got a reaction from bsshog40 in 1859 Indian Head Penny Mint Error?
Welcome to The Forum. Your coin has been treated with acid. We see those every now and then on this forum.

They aren't always fake, but yours is an easy one to determine. It literally says "COPY" on the reverse.
Oops. Sorry for my rudeness. Welcome to the forum.

Yep. That's what acid does. It also erodes the devices and fields more or less equally, so that the design remains legible even when the coin is almost paper thin. I have not done the experiment myself, yet, but I have seen quite a few coins treated this way

Just Bob got a reaction from Hoghead515 in Best strategy for collecting sets
NEWS FLASH!
Man struck on head by falling wad of cash - killed instantly.
Greedy onlookers rush to gather scattered money. One bystander heard to mutter, " What a shame. And, he was working on such a nice set of Morgans, too." as he rapidly snatched up every bill he could find. Ancient brass lamp found lying next to body.

Reverse die clash. That is supposed to be a remnant between columns 4 and 5, but, if it is, one of the dies had to have rotated.
