<p>[QUOTE="VT4Pac, post: 3363138, member: 94961"]It looks like a coin with 92 years of circulation wear and tear. From what I understand, typical "vise jobs" or "squeeze jobs" occur when someone clamps one coin down into another causing an incuse reverse image so you would see it backwards basically. Its pretty sad because if you look at sold listings on eBay you can see people that have been tricked into spending good money on these damaged coins that are being marketed as ultra rare mint errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mark below "Cent" on the reverse is interesting because it does resemble that of a possible strike through, maybe struck through rim burr; there is no apparent metal displacement. But the thing is, even if it was PMD (post mint damage), after that many years of circulation the displaced metal could easily be worn down anyways. There really is no way to tell for sure in my opinion. I'm definitely not an expert though and if anything I've stated is wrong I'm sure the pro's will chime in and correct me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
