<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2294155, member: 74863&quot;]The penny design is pressed into the dime on both the obverse and the reverse. On the obverse I can see the outline of Lincoln&#039;s head but the word Liberty is on an approximant 45 degree angle to the head outline. On the reverse, are the steps to the Lincoln Memorial, They are on a different angle than the obverse impression. Based on this, the impression, in my opinion, of Lincoln onto the dime would have required 3 strikes. Since the dime is impressed with Lincoln and a cent planchet will not fit into a dime collar and not one, not two but three strikes would have had to occur to get all the angles of the cent onto the dime I can only reach the conclusion that this was done after it left the mint. Probably in a vise in someone&#039;s garage or work shop. I&#039;ve seen this many times before and that is what it looks like to me. My opinion is based on 2 photos and what I see from them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
