<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptHenway, post: 5045718, member: 13813&quot;]The people who make novelty two-headed or two-tailed coins have a milling machine that grinds out one side of the coin INSIDE the raised rim on that side. The result looks like a very shallow cup. A second coin has the corresponding side ground flat AND the rim removed. It now fits inside the shallow cup, probably with a dab of glue in the center to hold it in place. Thus the seam will not be on the edge of the coin, but on one side or the other where the flat part of the field meets the raised rim of the cup.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a mint error. The off-tone ring is your proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>TD</p><p>Former Senior Authenticator, American Numismatic Association[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
