I agree at first blush it looks like that.... what I meant by "railroad job" was putting a coin on the tracks in front of a train and causing the coin to be flattened and expanded.

But a press would not cause the striking of reverse elements on the obverse.

Found these 4 examples in a small B&M shop in Augusta, GA yesterday. Snapped them up for $4US each.

1951 Dr. Drake's / GLESSCO For Adults
1953 Souvenir of Canada
1964 Windsor Canadian Whisky
1968 Windsor Canadian Whisky

This 1964 Windsor is in a ring that has up/down orientation. All of the other Windsors in my collection are up/up.
