They take one ordinary coin and place it on top of another. Then they place a piece of leather over them and strike the leather with a hammer. The leather softens the blow enough so that the coins are not destroyed but yet the force is still such that the top coin imparts its own image onto the coin under it. This can result in a coin that appears to be a flip over strike or strongly clashed dies - errors the some will pay a premium for. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>But the coin on top - since it suffers the most pressure ends up with flattened details - damage much like you see on your coin.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I tell you what...I&#039;ll try this and see what happens and let you know...</p><p>I would be interested in what a grading Co. had to say if you ever get the chance-</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
