<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 4235249, member: 84595&quot;]My analysis comes out to a genuine 1960-D cent with a fake second strike.&nbsp; I note how the field rolls up to the rim unlike many counterfeit coins which don&#039;t have the dish appearance.&nbsp;&nbsp; The fake strike, 1960 was not struck in a collar.&nbsp; There are other diagnostics that indicate a fake second strike.&nbsp; Secondary date strike distance from the rim, no mint mark&nbsp; etc..&nbsp; It also looks like a wood block coin.&nbsp; Taking two pieces of hardwood and laying a cent in between them, then smacking with a sledge hammer. This made a crude hard wood die. Then putting another coin in the wood depression of the first coin, trying to line up the two hardwood blocks and smacking the blocks with a sledge hammer.&nbsp; Final result is a man made altered coin to look like a double struck in collar.&nbsp; When I was in shop class 55 years ago, this was a fun thing for others to do.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the shop vice did better than the sledge hammer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
