<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GrizzlyGold, post: 1732222, member: 55226&quot;]I appreciate the input non_cents, but I don&#039;t believe it to be that simple.&nbsp; You stack two coins and hit them with a hammer and this is not what you get.&nbsp; You don&#039;t completely obliterate one side to the point of no visible trace of any design ever being present, and only get a faint trace of a perfectly mirrored obverse on the other.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s not possible to do this outside of the mint, but if it is post-mint, I don&#039;t think that&#039;s how it happened.&nbsp; I actually had the same thought in trying to rule out PMD, but I think that if you have enough pressure/force to make the obverse side of the coin smooth, you would end up destroying the reverse as well.&nbsp; You can see, the design on the reverse is not destroyed or even marred, except for the mirrored ghosting.&nbsp; If it&#039;s as simple as hitting two coins with a hammer, I challenge anyone to replicate this result and document the evidence.&nbsp; Appreciate it though.&nbsp; Any other thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
