Everything you are seeing is damage. When you look at coins that close you will start to see all kinds of things. It's like seeing shapes in clouds. It's a phenomenon known as Pareidola. Believe me, that coin wasn't struck on an Indian head, then a centavo and then a wheaties.Comment

These anomalies Can clearly be seen with my hand magnifier. That is how I found them. I then use my scope for a closer inspection. I also use different filters and light. When using binary then emboss filtering areas were lettering is faint are brought out. Such as in one area there appears to be a banner or head dress with the word Liberty in it and another area where there is very faint numbers. There is something more than just damage here.Comment

That is a very vivid imagination, and I think Pareidola is the correct call. I honestly believe that if you knew the minting process, then you would know claims like this are unfounded. Another important point is that the condition of the coins you are examining is pretty bad. You should probably insist on examining higher grade coins. It would eliminate a lot of issues like this one.Bob Piazza

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
