Is this an error coin?

Postby adamsp27 » Sat Apr 21, 2012 9:05 pm

Hi, was just wondering if anyone has seen a coin like this and if it is a mint error or someone just messing with the coins? I actually found both within the last week. The back on both of the coins is normal.

Thanks

they were struck through capped dies. I've sold a few for around $10 each.
