Was wondering if one of the experts here could possibly tell me if this is a mint error or post mint damage.

Oh yea, hello to everyone here, have been lurking around here for a while, finally decided to post some.

Hi Jeff,
Looks to me like "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and other letters are backwards and "incuse" (lower down than the rest of metal, not raised) in which case it is just from someone putting two pennies on top of each other and hitting with a hammer. Post mint damage, in other words.

Welcome!

Looks like Post mint damage to me too. Could be a squeeze job too.

Definite squeeze job. Post mint dammage and all of that. The reverse letters are a dead giveaway. Now this is wahat you want:

That is the strongest die clash I have ever seen! And it is rotated. Are you sure its authentic?

Or was it double struck in collar flipped over?

I'm sorry, but it's not real. I did it on photoshop to show jlc0321 what a die clash really looks like, with no reversed letters or any incusion.

I wish it was real, it's also a 2000 Wide AM!

I thought it looked a little strong for a die clash.
