<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 487946, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I think you have settled in on the correct diagnosis for this one.&nbsp; I will just add my two cents and agree with the &quot;squeeze job&quot; scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some folks use &quot;hammer job&quot; and &quot;squeeze job&quot; interchangeably and since both are damage, it doesn&#039;t really matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between the two ways of tampering with coins is that the &quot;hammer job&quot;&nbsp; will often have pretty good evidence of the coin having been whacked with a foreign object.&nbsp; Sometimes you can even see gouges caused by the damage on the head of the hammer that was used.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a &quot;squeeze job&quot;&nbsp; it is often a vice that is used and there is often less extraneous damage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case,&nbsp; the lettering from the reverse of a coin being incuse and reversed on the obverse is the sign that this coin is a &quot;squeeze job&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
