Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1606 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 2:05 pm That is an oddly attractive coin! And yes, I'd jump on the die cap wagon. If not a cap, there was "something" between the die and the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19263 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 2:27 pm Curiously attractive, yes. Wouldn't be stunned if it's found to be a fake. End-on pics of the rim in two or three places would be interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1606 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 2:34 pm If it's true minting brockage, wouldn't it have to have some die clashing? But that doesn't fit with a capped die*. You may be right about the elaborate faked error.... too confusing for my recent anoxic brain injury. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7520 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 2:36 pm The incused and backward lettering is an indicative of a clever vise job. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 4:19 pm 100% altered. The reverse is a "sandwich job" while the obverse has either had a ring excavated into it or was pressed into a ring-shaped object. I strongly suspect the latter, as the sunken ring lies opposite the incuse lettering. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25733 Posts	Posted 12/12/2022 4:36 pm Agree with Chase - this is definitely a vise job. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
