Yeah, this certainly was not made by accident. Cool looking nonetheless.  |

Moonlight mint has one of these presses the mint uses, they bought it surplus from Denver Mint I think.
I'm not claiming they did it, just saying they have the capability to do it, and it would look like a U.S. mint "error" (is something intentional even an error?)
Anyways, I don't see why this couldn't be one of their "fantasy pieces" really, messing around with the press and having some beers.
All I know is something like this doesn't happen by "error".

http://www.moonlightmint.com/dc-coi...uck_list.htmWow. If I'm seeing what I think I'm looking at he is very skilled indeed. Edit: I'm wondering who at the mint in their right mind would sell one of their presses as surplus. That's just asking for all kinds of trouble.

Here's the sanding disc. 1986 silver eagle   Looking on sold records there are coins to match a few of these sanding discs. There must have been a few of them. Some obverse and some reverse. |

And the double denomination is broad struck out of the collar for the Lincoln Cent. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
