Recently bought some indian head cents and at first thought this one was just damaged, but on closer inspection it looks like it might be a mint error. Maybe someone here can tell what it is? I don't know much about errors
It appears to be the reverse image of a coin stamped into the area between the date and running through the word America. You can see the denticles of a rim on both sides of the I in America and some lettering beneath it.
This picture you can see what looks like the top of another R stamped above the R in America
Any thoughts about what happened to this coin? Die clash? Another coin got in the way when this one was minted? Maybe this coin got in the way of another one being minted? I don't know.
