mcstone Valued Member United Kingdom 179 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 3:39 pm Looks like it might be a great die clash error, if so awesome find!! I love all mint error coins, a die clash is where the dies used in minting a coin come together without a coin in the middle, and leave an imprint on each other. I have a similar thing on a George VI Rupee :D Report this Post to the Staff

KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 02/24/2014 10:19 pm Thats what I thought also, shark38Ksw. The details are too sharp and overlap in such a way, that contradicts a hammer job,I must submit that , this coin WAS squeezed but, some detail does not line up that way. if it was a squeeze job, Both sides show impressions of the obverse,but one is backwards,how can one side be backwards from the other squeeze,they would look the same, being squeezed off an obverse?
