I found this Lincoln in my sorting today. the reverse is fine, but the obverse has the reverse memorial and lettering on it. I know the pic isn't the greatest. I was wondering what it is called, how they get made and the general price range that they sell in. You can post here,pm me or email me .

If it was a die clash, the obverse image would be exactly aligned with the reverse image.

Also the reverse image would be pushed out on the obverse.

Looks like someone laid one cent over another and hit it with a hammer.

That's a homemade error, not factory.

Some idiot will buy it though.

I wouldn't want to sell it if it wasn't real tho. And i'm sure that some idiot would as I thought it was real. Oh well, thanks guys for the bad news.
