[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 4651017, member: 20480"]I say there is absolutely no way this was not contrived by a mint worker. Following are three reasons why: [LIST=1] [*]It is incredibly improbable that two coins of a denomination other than that intended would land in a striking chamber at the same time. [*]It is again incredibly improbable that the two coins would be of different denominations from each other. [*]Just as unlikely is the fact that, because the sum of the diameters of the cent and dime planchets are very nearly the same as the diameter of an Ike planchet, the two coins landed essentially edge-to-edge in the chamber, rather than one laying on the other. [/LIST] The odds of this occurring while coining a business strike are practically incalculable, but for this to occur accidentally while striking proofs is truly . . . unbelievable. While it's cool to look at, methinks it's worth little more than ONE `.[/QUOTE]
