<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 25660933, member: 43872"]I am certainly not an expert, but it seems to be clearly a "squeeze play" of some sort. If the squeeze is actually old, which seems most likely, say from when the two coins were in circulation, I would suspect it was when someone found the cent and the dime together were just the right thickness to level a heavy piece of furniture or cast-iron stove or such. Because the dime impression is mirror image, the only way I can see it happening at the mint is through a clashed die, and that would seem highly unlikely with coins of such different sizes. Besides, the reverse seems to have multiple impressions and even reeding, which seems to me to indicate it was repositioned over time. If the squeeze is more modern, it is more likely someone being "funny" with a vice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
