<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gwpjr, post: 1203657, member: 31605&quot;]My wife picked up this dime in change and immediately recognized it as unusual.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been scratching my head over it, because I&#039;ve never seen anything quite like it.</p><p>[ATTACH]126937.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]126938.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Higher-res:</p><p><a href="http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc%2FIMG00320-20110616-1047.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc%2FIMG00320-20110616-1047.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc/IMG00320-20110616-1047.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc%2FIMG00321-20110616-1048.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc%2FIMG00321-20110616-1048.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.gwpjr.net/pictures/?display=Misc/IMG00321-20110616-1048.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I looks for all the world like two properly struck coins got stuck, one to the bottom die and one to the top and then were pressed together.&nbsp; Because of this, my first thought was that it was a press job.&nbsp; Three things that make m think it isn&#039;t a fake: First, the reverse doesn&#039;t show any indication that it was distorted by pressing two coins together.&nbsp; Second, the coin appears to be ever so slightly off-center.&nbsp; This is most evident when looking at the border on the reverse.&nbsp; Third, the obverse is slightly inset while the rim is still intact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
