I've heard this referred to as floating letter's some where. There is a "d" on the front, and a "c" on the back. The picture I took of the back doesn't show the c very well but it is there.
it is refered to the Dropped Letter variety. Ting about dropped letter coins is each is unique. Andy Margolis' book Error Coin Encyclopedia has some nice pics as well as a details how these occur..
What bothers me about this one is the appearance of some some type of damage on the reverse. It looks like some kind of "punch" was used to make a home-made "dropped letter". Very deceptive but the "D" isn't the same size as the mint mark and looks like a different font than the "D" in God should be..
My thought was a squeeze job with a later dated cent. maybe we can get full obverse and reverse photos. The area of the rim is what makes me think this. Looks like another rim was smashed into the obverse and reverse. Just an opinion.
The lettering may be reversed on this one. If another coin with this type of D, was layed on top of another coin, obverse to obverse and struck with a hammer in the area of the D, wouldn't it look like this one.
I'm just trying to think outside the box here.
Here is a better picture of the back, and the "c" can clearly be seen.
The only reason I questioned the squeeze job theory, is because I posted a different picture that I had a question about and the general concensus
was a squeeze job, that made sense to me with what I had pictured.

After seeing this photo I'd have to go with the squeeze theory.
