Ray, USMC Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I have heard all kinds of explanations for this coin and I would just be interested in hearing any and all opinions as to what people think could have caused this perfect reverse imprint. Thanks for any imput on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Another coin was placed on top of this coin and pressed into it, maybe done intentionally or by accident. Another theory would be an overstrike but I'm skeptical of that option, or at least of that option having happened at the mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Three are now two active posts on this same coin. See under "Journals" for replys to the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I agree with the above, but I believe considerable time in contact with both coins and a corrosive liquid. I don't think pressure alone explains this. Ray, USMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physics-fan3.14 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It appears to be in an NGC holder. What did they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray, USMC Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I cannot seem to find the other discussions you mentioned above. I am just very curious about this coin. I like the corrosive theory but if a liquid was in contact why would it only corrode the one cent and no other details ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray, USMC Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Apparently this was not submitted as an error only as an over date.and as we all know you only get what you ask for, and as such the "one cent" was ignored.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyUS.com Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It looks like post mint damage, very possibly intentional, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't an error. It is post-mint damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
