<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2827565, member: 1765"]My first impression was that it was a sandwich coin. Sandwich coins are not new on the scene. I've seen another 89-CC made like this from an 84-CC reverse and 89-P obverse. There were a couple defects on the reverse that gave it away. 89-P obverses are almost never as sharply detailed as 89-CC, and you can see that the reverse is nominally sharper than the obverse. The marks on the rim were another red flag. The mint mark position confirms it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
