Jarr99 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 03:30 am I found this roll hunting, and I have never came across this before. You can see the letters on the front clearly, I'm not sure about the reverse looks like maybe a 25 at bottom, but I'm not sure about that.let me know what you think. Thanks and I appreciate your help. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 08:18 am The devices are transferred by squeezing the coin. Either in a vise or with two pieces of wood and a hammer. Often three coins are used, but with your coin a second was used against a flat surface. That is why the reverse side is flat. Mirrored devices are the first clue. Report this Post to the Staff

One other thing that I would point out is that holding your coins like this with metal tweezers could add scratches to your coins. Cotton inspection gloves would be a better alternative. In the case of this coin it doesn't really matter, but hopefully you will find something really interesting soon and I'd hate to see it inadvertantly damaged.
