<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 655103, member: 66"]Thanks for showing the back. That indicates that it is a hammer or squeeze job and not a mint error. (The fact that the letters are incuse and reversed on the obverse is NOT enough to prove a squeeze job. ) The obverse COULD look like that if it was struck between a freshly capped die and a blank planchet in the coining chamber, assuming the obverse was the anvil die. (hence my request for a picture of the reverse) But to have incuse and reverse lettering on both sides it would have to be caught between TWO struck coins Something that would not happen in the press.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
