Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/04/2017 4:15 pm Yep, believe this one is/Little Johnnie in the Garage on Daddy's vise. The imprint is fairly weak, which is about all the pressure a human can apply to a vise handle before it bends , this is one easily replicated by anyone with a vise . It takes approximately four to five whacks on two pennies put together with a 20oz carpenter's hammer to get a more deeper and lasting impressiom... If you try this one, make sure that coins are taped together with duct tape...that way the outside has a "Strike-Thru" error well worthy of $99 on ebay!
