    Is that second row of stuff pressed in rather than raised up?

    So this was damaged by another coin(s) getting squeezed?

    yes and because there is no damaged to the queens bust and the surroundings.

    Is there anything odd on the other side? I ask because what you are showing on the obv is reversed and incuse as you would see from a squeeze job (squeezing two coins together in a vice or hitting them with a hammer), but I am not seeing anything impressed into the raised bust. If you have design details impressed into the field all the way up to the devices you SHOULD have incuse designs pressed into the devices as well. I can thing of one way for it to happen, but in that case I would expect to see certain things on the rev as well.

    The damage on the lower right serif of H in ELIZABETH, indicates to me that this is a clever press job, probably more with a hammer than a vice press... I have seen examples before, where someone even went to the trouble of grinding down the rim on the coin doing the 'pressing'...

    Also, a double struck coin in bronze or copper, does not preserve that kind of detail in the underlying strike. I would conclude that this is a clever PMD coin.

    Do you understand why I want to see clear images of the reverse? Do you know what I am checking for? In other words I am trying to eliminate a possibility, do you know what I am trying to eliminate?
