<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2721958, member: 1892&quot;]1. The lettering is mirror-imaged. This could only happen if another &quot;positive,&quot; another coin, was used to impress it. A second strike by a die would read &quot;forward&quot; as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The feature appears on the highest points of the coin, and the things impressed are also the highest points of a coin. That makes them the deepest points on a die, which couldn&#039;t be touched by random contact. Only two coins touching could have done this.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. There are known errors in which a struck coin stays in the chamber and is forced onto the next planchet. However, this all happens under the 100+ tons of pressure exerted by the press, and in a &quot;real&quot; case the feature transfer would be far stronger as a result. In most cases the second strike all but obliterates the first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
