[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2508182, member: 24544"]Think through the minting process, there is literally no way this came out of the mint with that strike. If it was feed into the dime press and had one good strike, and then was feed into the cent press and struck again the cent image would be raised, not incused. If it was struck by dime press and stayed on the die while a second planchet was feed in, a brockage maker, it would have one side with a good image and one side with a flatter image, but still not different design elements. If it was a brockage, the coin being feed into the press after a coin was stuck on the die, it would have one correct image, and the same image incused on the other side. So again, before you start getting defensive because you don't like what we are saying, think through the minting process and come up with a reasonable explanation as to how this coin could possible have been made. Share that with us, and we can explain how it is literally impossible for a coin to come from the mint with the characteristics it has, while it is very easy to explain as a regular dime that was squeezed between two cents in a vice.[/QUOTE]
