Could that be what they call a "dropped D"?
Hello everyone , I believe that I've come across one of the rarest recent American penny mint errors . If anyone can tell me if they have seen a 2005 penny that if you looked at the coin in a mirror you would see the other side upside down 180 degrees different from front to back Thank you all
Dimeman, I don't think so pcgs has a proof coin on coinfacts for that variety but i can't readily see what the characteristics are.

This is all that I found other than a CAMEO image on Coin Facts with the "D" which has a counterclockwise rotation.

Pr PMM-001 (FS-901)

Note: Further research is needed to determine if this is a misplaced "D" mintmark. In my opinion it is simply a die gouge and nothing else.

learn to use tact and try not to be so rude, GEEZ!!!
it seems that when CPG uses FS 901 that they are indicating some type on non-standard anomaly. they have standard numbers for DDR, DDO, RPM, etc. and seem to use 901 with oddities. in this case it would appear that Dimeman may be correct regarding the "dropped letter" on the reverse. I'm sure one of our error guys can clear it up.
the link below should take you to the listing of the coin in question, it seems clearly to be a dropped letter D.

okay thanks for the help. By the way I did an internet search and then went to the pros.
@Dewey1 .... Welcome aboard.... I do not know it your post is an attempt at humor, or an actual question....just in case, all coins are minted that way. Cheers, RickO
