<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2292768, member: 24633&quot;]This isn&#039;t <u>slightly</u> larger. It looks to be about 10% larger. I&#039;ve seen the rim of an encased coin expanded slightly from the crimping, but this shows no sign of crimping. Besides, if it were <u>stretched</u> as you suggest, you would probably see some deformation in the devices. It wouldn&#039;t stretch perfectly without distortion. It isn&#039;t even likely that a copper, nickel-sized planchet was used because it can&#039;t fit in the coining chamber.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only possible explanation I can come up with isn&#039;t much better. The OP found this posted on Instagram. Is it possible that the original photo is merely a composite of two separate photos merged together, and whoever created it was intentionally trying to fool others?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry about the pot joke. I&#039;ve been watching too many episodes of <b><i>Cops</i></b> on TV. It wasn&#039;t intended to be a slur against you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
