My daughter found this coin while going through some circulated rolls of wheaties that I bought at a coin show. It looks like there are 2 reverse images sunken into the obverse and I'm not sure what's going on with the reverse. I don't know if this is the result of someone hammering wheaties together or some kind of brockage? Sorry about the pictures. I brought a new microscope but haven't got the photo part down yet.

And the letters are all backwards. Spent too much time being squeezed in a vise . Probably the reverse raised areas are from the vise incuse areas. Damaged.........

Just make sure you describe it on Ebay as "one of a kind" and "unsearched". That will guarantee some fool will pay you at least $10.

And don't forget to pray over it! That blessing seems to work in the description as a selling point the Ebay.

Thanks for your replies. I guess I can't retire yet. It sure was exciting seeing it at first though. Then I started wondering how it could have occurred at the mint.
