Here is my version.But I have been wrong before.

These are commonly referred to as "hammer jobs", "vise jobs", "squeeze jobs", and "sandwich jobs". Your coin was squeezed between two other cents. This can happen inside or outside the mint, but the effects are indistinguishable. Post-strike damage is post-strike damage.   04-10-2006, 11:51 PM   #11 (permalink) budgood Forever the Student     Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: 41.69 (41°41') | -83.61 (-83°36') Posts: 973 My Mood: The one I made was 3 cents duct taped together around the rim and a hard blow from a 35# dumbell. Didn't even change it's size. __________________ "Take an honest look at your willingness - or lack of willingness - to make some very great sacrifices with the hope of future benefit.

The introduction of a second coin into the striking chamber increases the effective striking pressure dramatically. The coin will show signs of greatly increased striking pressure. It will show "finning" of the rim if struck in-collar, and massive expansion if struck out-of-collar. Moreover, it is very rare for there to be a brockage on both faces, while this is the normal state of affairs for squeeze jobs.   04-11-2006, 01:06 AM   #14 (permalink) Aidan Work Numismatist   Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Wellington,New Zealand. Posts: 6,467 It is actally quite common for coins to have ghosting coming through to the other side of the coin.It would have to have been struck very hard to get ghosting coming through.

Aidan. You're confusing this fake with die clash. Die clash will show incuse, mirror-image reverse design elements on the obverse and incuse, mirror-image obverse design elements on the reverse. This fake shows obverse-on-obverse. Also, the appearance is entirely different.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
