coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/18/2020 7:00 pm Looks like damage from squeezing two other coins together in a vice. On the error, the rims from the other coins would not be seen on the victim coin. Report this Post to the Staff
KeepTheChange Valued Member United States 358 Posts	Posted 08/18/2020 7:06 pm it isn't damage...mike diamond himself examined this one. This is double struck Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/18/2020 7:24 pm I would have thought it was damage too. Interesting. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

KeepTheChange Valued Member United States 358 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 12:30 am dang really coinfrog? It didnt even cross my mind that this was damaged...but I had mike take a look to confirm it was legitimate. It takes a ton of force to do this to a coin,far beyond the pressure of a vise Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 12:49 am My question would be what part of the obverse design is on the double struck image ( circled in red). Just not seeing where it matches up. I I do agree that it takes more than the pressure from a vice, but there are plenty of other presses out there that can exert that much pressure. It may very well be doublestruck, just questioning how it was determined. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5819 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 08:56 am Maybe it's a reverse detail from a flip-over double strike? Did Mike indicate whether he thought the indent was struck first or last? (To me it looks like the small partial strike was last.) 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
