<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1893297, member: 56859"]Actually, when I first looked at it I thought it was a sandwich of three layers-- two thin outer layers and one fat inner layer, almost as if another thicker coin had been clad. The 11:00-2:00 obverse rim and 1:00-3:00 reverse rim gave rise to the suspicion. However, the remainder of the coin shows no such evidence of fused layers, so my conclusion was that this is just a strange flan. I could be wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it was made from three flans, those must've been heated as one to flow temperature before striking with dies or else there would be visible lines all around the rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
