[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 432151, member: 12965"]Because I cannot see damage on the opposite side from the holes, I'd think some type of machine was used? Something that would stamp that pattern into something else and someone was bored on day and wondered if it could stamp through a nickel. That's what it looks like to me, but it would help to know if the hole patterns match up to each other from both sides? Which, to help show where they are in relation to each other, stick it in a flip and draw a [U]horizontal line[/U] (use a ruler) through the center of the flip on both sides, then take a pic of both sides with it in the flip. What the marked flip does is show any rotation in the die, since I believe the reverse is slightly rotated based on assuming the hole patterns match up on both sides. ;) Ribbit :) Ps: If I am correct, the top hole on the reverse matches up to the left middle hole on the obverse (the one closest to the nose), which would give it a 90 degree rotated reverse. ;)[/QUOTE]
