<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1695641, member: 66&quot;]This is PMD from a &quot;false die&quot; double striking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normal coin coin is placed on a hard surface and a brass plate put on top.&nbsp; Hit hard.&nbsp; This creates an incuse image in the brass plate.&nbsp; Shift the plate on the coin.&nbsp; Hit hard.&nbsp; Since the brass is &quot;soft&quot; it receives a second incuse impression from the cent, but since the first &quot;strike&quot; workhardened the brass it acts as a die and created a raised image on the coin but it is soft enough to not flatten the original obv image on the coin.&nbsp; This results in the original image and the fainter raised offset image on the obverse.&nbsp; Since the coin was placed on a hard surface that COULDN&#039;T deform to take on the image of the coin, the reverse was simply flattened by the two blows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
