I'm with numismat, photoshop. It isn't a simple dime pressed into a cent or into glue on a cent because neither image is reversed. But it isn't...
Very nice, you don't see counterclashes all that often.
About the same as one without it. Maybe a little less, especially since it puts the date in doubt.
I hate to say this folks but those "die cracks" are scratches.
Personally I think this is a bit of folklore as well. I do think they were more widely used in the west but I don't really think they were that...
