jnesbitt82 Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 08/19/2017 07:48 am Is it just me, or does anyone else see a ghost image of Lincoln's bust on the reverse? It's indented and backwards almost like it was squeezed on. A weak vise job, maybe? Report this Post to the Staff

Something to do with transfer. Not a clash. Edited by 11997755 08/19/2017 08:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

My impression of this type Encased Coin is they are placed in position and then the holder or charm is struck between two dies expanding up to the coins edge or just into the rim perimeter.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/19/2017 11:52 am Leave coins that are in the holder. They are worth more that way than after they have been removed. Putting them in the holders damage the coin. So when they are removed, you can see the damage that removes about all the value of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/19/2017 3:37 pm Dang it I was wrong. Not a die clash, but rather ghosting/PIDT as others pointed out. Thanks for setting this straight!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74776 Posts	Posted 08/19/2017 11:08 pm I agree with everyone that the coin was from a "Good Luck" holder. Better luck next time. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
