Possible penny on dime planchet~ 1904 ??

#1 Unread post by SRW »

Hello, I've had this for many years but have not been able to identify exactly what it is. There is an Indian head penny that appears to be struck thru to the reverse or some other type of error? The reverse is also an Indian cent, that I could identify by a bit of the wreath. It weighs 2.46 grams and the color is toned but more silvery or nickel in color, definitely not copper. Sorry the images aren't the sharpest, but I could try another round. Any help on identifying just what exactly this is would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Someone counter stamped an Indian head design into a Barber Dime. So it's silver based on the weigh and it's post mint damaged, meaning it didn't happen at the mint.

I agree. The indian effigy is not even close to the effigy used on a real indian cent. This is just someone having fun with a stamp.

Okay, that makes sense. Perhaps the kind of thing that would happen at a county fair, once upon a time? Anyhow, thank you kindly.
