<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 7871084, member: 5372&quot;]I have some very useless experience in fabrication coining (as opposed to minting of actual coins) and I was mentally constructing how I would fabricate this anomaly. I could possibly tool a collar that fit into the edging precisely, then apply in a multi-ton smooth vice and at the time align a high tonnage press, and this could cause physical bending if the synchronicity of the collar and the press and the force is not perfect (because the force generated has to be dissipated somewhere/somehow), but I would expect the existing images on the coin to be distorted. But then I ask myself, why go through the trouble and expense, unless it is a highly skilled machinist with a lot of time on his/her hands (yes, there are some excellent female specialty machinists especially in the S4S fabrications), or , a midnight minter at the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mind wanders.
