<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2506709, member: 73224&quot;]Some of the pics may look like the accessory device is incuse.&nbsp; It all looks raised to me.&nbsp; The press this person used did not have enough pressure to eliminate the original devices.&nbsp; Plus when they made the die they added too much relief.&nbsp; Much of the original devices were left intact because they fell into a recess area of the die.&nbsp; Also the die was misaligned.&nbsp; You can see that clearly by the double rim.&nbsp; They probably had no real good way to collar the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was just a practice run.&nbsp; Although using the opposite die face to restrike the coin is odd.&nbsp; It would make more sense to use the correct die face on the same side of coin.&nbsp; i.e., obverse die face to obverse coin side restrike.&nbsp; They were probably using old coins to practice on before using the intended blanks/planchets.&nbsp; I think its a cool coin also.&nbsp; It would find a home in my collection if I had found it.&nbsp; But, still PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>After thought.&nbsp; I wonder if they were trying to make an error coin rather than a whole bunch of cents?&nbsp; The die is still wrong.&nbsp; They could make a whole bunch of error coins with one die.&nbsp; I have never bought any error coins.&nbsp; This more than confirms why I should never buy one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
