What happens is someone makes an impression of the coin in a piece of metal and then put the die over the coin just off center and then hammers the metal several times.&nbsp; That is why the back is almost gone and the coin is in an oval shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back then the hobby was growing very fast.&nbsp; Con-artists were altering 1944-D cents into 1914-D cents and selling them at swap meets.&nbsp; There were a lot of altered 1937-D buffalo nickels.&nbsp; I could tells some great stories about things I saw and a few of the times I was ripped off by dealers at coin shows.&nbsp; But that is for another time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still love coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care:smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
