biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 3:07 pm Sorry, just a damaged coin and not an error. It is almost impossible to strike a dime design onto a cent planchet because the planchet will not fit in a dime collar. The only exception to this rule would be a Mint worker "manufacturing" an error and that would involve physically disengaging the collar from the striking process. You can strike a smaller diameter design on a larger diameter planchet but not the other way around. A dime was hammered onto the reverse of the cent which flattened the obverse side.

CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 3:08 pm From what I can make out, it appears to be a vise job. It appears the front is very mushy, and the reverse, you can see the reeding within the design of the Cent's reverse. Clearly a vise job, not a mint error Report this Post to the Staff
