1944 penny with both sides having the same orientation

I have a 1944 penny with multiple errors on both sides. The most obvious is both sides have the same orientation. Have you seen this before.

    @Roentgen... Welcome aboard. We will need pictures to verify issues. You will have to wait a couple of days to post pictures (forum protocol)... Though you can link them in a subsequent post. Or you can private message the pictures to one of us for evaluation and we can post them. Be sure to be specific. It is unlikely that your cent contains 'multiple errors' however. So be sure to clearly state what you think are errors. There are many experts here who willingly help individuals. Cheers, RickO

    I don't see 1944 on the census of Rotateddies.com but it hasn't been updated since 2013. Is there another online list of rotated coins ??

    When I am enabled to post photos, I will see if I can figure out how to post them. Sounds like maybe tomorrow I can try, I don’t have a lot of computer skills but I’ll try. It is definitely rotated (I looked at many pennies, this on is definitely different) and has other errors maybe related to the rotation error?

    I can post photos now. I turned the coin over from side to side and I didn’t rotate it after turning it over. Look at In God We Trust and United States of America, and Lincoln looks angry. The whole penny looks messed up.!

    Not a coin - that’s definite

    Most likely a bracelet charm - but no charm I’d want as it is the worst counterfeit ever

    I'd call it a "jewellery replica" rather than a "counterfeit", since it wasn't intended to fool anyone into thinking it was a genuine coin.

    It’s not magnetic

    Some might wonder if it was real or a fake, that’s me. I’m not a coin collector, I just got a jar of wheat and steal pennies from my grandpa and thought this one looks very odd. I’m glad you all saw right through it and maybe saw some humor too.

    I still can hardly believe I thought it was a real penny. Lol thanks again for your help and I’m glad i didn’t take it to an appraiser. He probably would have laughed me out of the room.

    When expert professional authenticators examine a coin, one of their most important tools is the spell checker. ;)
