Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5802 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 10:33 pm If it was only struck with a hammer (qnd not something more industrial) how do we explain the flatness of the design on both surfaces, without increasing the diameter. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25693 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 10:47 pm The two coins were slightly overlapping then bashed with a hand maul on an anvil. The original cent was worn to begin with, as was the overlapping one. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
surfacewave Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 9:07 pm Hondo, I enjoyed this thread but I have a follow up question. Can one tell the difference between using a hand maul on an anvil vs a vertical press to impress the second coin on the worn coin?

Dearborn Moderator United States 98469 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 9:24 pm good question. I like my press theory, as it has more control to smash the devices evenly flat, but this was not my experiment - Hondo, did you produce this 'coin'? Collecting since 1972.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25693 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 9:40 pm Surfacewave and Dearborn, how this coin was destroyed is lost in the mists of time. It could have been either a press or a maul. And no, I didn't do it - it was in a batch of coins labelled "tokens, errors, and blank planchets". Unfortunately, all of those planchets were blank because the coins were slicks. No errors. And the tokens were junk. At least it was only a $6 lesson, and I've gotten my moneys worth with this thread. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

(I had a good idea on this one from the beginning, but held back til the end..) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25693 Posts	Posted 07/31/2023 11:15 pm Dearborn, if you want it, I'll send it to you free of charge. Actually, if anyone wants this for their teaching collection etc. just let me know. I'm not attached to it at all.

EnergiaArt New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 01:53 am Looks like someone tried to solder two coins together! Part s/b blank altogether, with full stamp of coin attempt on the other 1/2? Report this Post to the Staff
