Hello, I'm a new member to NCG, I recently have been laid up and chose to use my time recuperating by photographing all my Coins,
1. So I have proof of ownership
2. To Search for any errors or anomalies I my find.
I have found several errors and possible errors but there is one anomaly that I can't get more insight on from the web. So, I'm hoping I can get a few insights here on the NCG Forum.
I have a 1963 UN-Circulated Mint Set and I took photos of the Coin's through the Cellophane and saw many errors in the photos but due to glare from the cellophane I couldn't see the whole in their pockets. So I took the Coins out of the Cellophane and put them in holders for the two sets. and retook the photos only to find non- of the errors that were showing through the Cellophane. I turned my collections over, looking for another 1963 UN-Circulated Mint Set only to realize that there were impressions on the Cellophane that carried images over to the coins.
So I went to the Second set of photos I took and on the 1963-D Lincoln Memorial cent I found a Second Man in the panel right of Lincoln sitting. Refer to first two photos.
As you can see in these photos the lighting is not the best so I change locations and retook the photos to find the second man was missing. I picked up the coin and looked at it with the naked eye and could see that there was still something there. With a magnifying glass I was able to see the second man again. So I took a Movie and moved the penny around and the man would come and go.
At this point it is my assumption that there is a reflective aspect with this coin that lets the second man be seen under some conditions and not under other conditions. I'm unable to attach the video here but I hope I have given enough information to get your thoughts on this subject.

Does this Combination add Worth to this Penny
