all this for one cent?

The only thing that I could think of on how it got this way was probably a San Francisco Mint worker stuck the obverse planchet in the collar in 1925, struck it, then--in 1929--brought it over to the Philadelphia Mint and struck the reverse. Some might say that this is a "magician's coin" but--I've never seen one this old AND--magician's coins are struck cleaner and not rotated.


yeah.....right!

From the description -- so funny that I had to repeat it and bold-face it: The only thing that I could think of on how it got this way was probably a San Francisco Mint worker stuck the obverse planchet in the collar in 1925, struck it, then--in 1929--brought it over to the Philadelphia Mint and struck the reverse.

[EDITED to add: Oh, and this is sad. There *is* one bidder for this coin at $5, and look at where much of their recent feedback came from... ]

So lets see. The mint worker didn't use a rev. die both times.
Wonder how that works.

Anyone ever notice that most ebay coin sellers use some slight variant of this image?



Whoever did it first should get a royalty.
