<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1461356, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;d say it is real.&nbsp; If this had been a squeeze job then the rest of the coin away from the indent would still show a good strike.&nbsp; In this case a 50 centavo planchet entered the press and a struck 10 centavo lay on top of it.&nbsp; When the dies came together it forced the 10 centavo deep into the 50 centavo planchet causing it to start cupping up around the ten centavo.&nbsp; The extra thickness of two coins in the press kept the dies from coming together completely and they made minimal contact with the 50 centavo planchet leaving a very weak impression everywhere except directly below the 10 centavo where it is extremely sharp.&nbsp; On the side where the ten centavo was you have a full SHARP brockage with no traces of a previously struck 50 centavo.&nbsp; If you had tried to do that extreme a squeeze job out side the coining press the area below the ten centavo would be mushy at best or completely flattened while the rest of the coin would look good.&nbsp; It may have had help, but if it did it was in the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
