    I have every copy of coin world for the last few years and I have read them all cover to cover... I'm sorry but I haven't seen an explanation for these yet other then post mint damage.

    WTF? A hammer job cent gets 6 pages of replies? LOL.

    And BTW I can prove to you that this is a squeeze job by the first pic. A 1992 is a Wide AM. The coin that was squeezed onto this one was a post-1992 Close AM. End of thread.

    Not quite the end...
    Thanksgiving is coming up this Thursday and below is a image of what I will be having. I went to 5 different dealers in the last couple of days (one was a two hour drive) and ALL but one of them laughed me out of the shop. To make my day worse, when I looked at my e-mail that night, two (very well know people in the coin world) told me the same.
    SO... I will not be sending this coin to anyone... and...
    I would like to take this time to humbly say to all of you (esp. RAIDER34)
    my apologizes for not believing all of you right up front...
    You guys know your stuff and I wasted a lot of gas and time learning this.

    No problem, everyone makes mistakes. Just consider the gas money and time, Numismatic tuition :D, every collector has probably paid theirs at some point, I know I have.

    But overall I think this thread was pretty productive, because there's a ton of good info on squeezed/hammered coins.

    Dollar, I appreciate the above posting. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake. We learn a tremendous amount by justifying our point of view. I can barely remember my Oral Defenses of my degree thesis. There are some who wouldn't admit their error no matter what. Enjoy the black turkey on Thanksgiving :) Pour Catsup or Salsa all over it.

    It takes guts to come here and admit that you were wrong. Usually when this type thread happens the original poster finds out the truth and just never comes back. In my eyes you have earned back a lot of respect just by coming back and filling us in.

    Oh..and just an aside, catsup is no good on crow, I found out a long time ago that it goes down better with dijon mustard and a decent red wine :}:}

    Actually, I prefer ketchup. Catsup is too oily for crow meat.

    You earned much respect back by coming on and manning up to your mistake. When it comes to error coins, the experts on this site know their stuff. This experience will help you have an open mind and be willing to consider others opinions. All in all, a great lesson, and one we ALL need to have at some point.

    Now, keep posting as this is a GREAT site.
