Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 7:55 pm I could use some help on this one. For reference, I flipped the obverse and reverse over in true north / south direction. Edited by Rmassey210 02/28/2025 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 8:19 pm I'm going to say that you have a vise-job, but I'm interested to learn how the date came out facing the correct direction but on the wrong side of the coin.

Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 8:30 pm I really don't know - I bought in a lot of combined stuff from an estate. There were also 6 blank planchet and 2 indented planchet that are most definitely legit. I have no idea what this is. Edited by Rmassey210 02/28/2025 8:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 8:34 pm This looks like an extreme vise job and possibly a bit of hammer timer as well. (just PMD) Collecting since 1972.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 11:48 pm The right side, where the date is appears to be the reverse of a Wheat cent. The O and C seem to be showing. Three overlapping coins that have been hammered or squeezed together. Report this Post to the Staff
