    Hi guys. I found this coin the other day and was hoping to get your opinion on it. It's nickel sized, but pressed on one side with a nickel heads image and a peny tails (reversed), and the other side with nickel tails and quarter tails... all the writing is there, overlapping one another, and I can make out a date on the nickel heads... 1983. It's pretty wacky. What do you think?
    And thanks in advance for your input.

    Squeeze job.

    Put two coins in a vise and this is what you get.

    definite hammer job.
    You cannot have a nickel size coin/planchet struck with a cent die.
    (It cannot be done on a larger size coin, only smaller.)
