The cent looks like a garage job. Squeezed in a vice between two other cents. imho

I agree on the garage job done on the 1 cent. The impressions are really just damage. If it was from a strike the portions would be raised, not impressed.
The dime also looks post mint as the design goes under the rolled rim, impossible to have happen unless it was done post mint. A better picture of where the edge meets the rim will show me right or wrong in my theory.
Sorry I didn't have some better news.

The same thing happens to American dimes when they get stuck in the fins of a commercial dryer. Wears the reeding down, rolls the perimeter inward.

The rim on the effigy side of the cent shows the best signs of tampering- the rim would not show that flattened area and the impression of the beading unless another coin was hammered on top of it. As for the dime, it looks like a classic Dryer Coin with the rim rolled inward onto the beading. |

Can't really say on the dime, but I do know that if you rub Canadian coins (and presumably others) against cement you can erase the reeding easily, leaving a smooth rounded finish where they once were...

Looks like the same coin alright. It's still fake.

A common way to fake an error. Think about how the coin was made, so the impression of the backwards penny could only have been done with another identical penny. Check the other side. THe missing reeding is just a worn edge. Quarters have these some of the time.

I just sent him a question why he is advertising it as a fake and refered back to this thread. Lets see what he has to say

Good job ziggy9...Seller has pulled coin from the auction...
I don't have much use for any seller that lists an item as authentic and they know its not...Some potential buyer just doesn't know how lucky he is...
