Quote: It looks like somebody took Two Cents, put them face-to-face and squeezed them together in a vice. It is interesting to look at, but definitely not a mint error This is the only possible explanation. Use the forum search by typing in vise job. Many, many threads..... |

If that would be then wouldnt the in god we trust be ruined as well?
Depends on whether the vise clamped the whole coin or not. This may be new to you, but some of us have seen hundreds of them. |

If you keep on looking, you'll find almost anything and everything possible done to coins. The best are the Magician's coins. So many with heads or tails on both sides. If you can find one, look for a magic shop. Check out all the STUFF for coins or currency. |

There are a LOT of people on ebay in that same situation, and a lot of coins similar to this one (two coins squeezed in a vice) get sold every day, sometimes for a lot of money, to those unknowledgeable people. They think it is some rare error coin and pay way too much. That is one reason why some people "waste" their time with the vice. |

I don't think they used a vice.
Looks to me like they put the one on top of the other
and hit it with a hammer.

For those wondering about the 'in god we trust' not being messed up: What if the other cent used to make this reverse image had an 'in god we trust' on it? It might have been filed off, it might have only been 3/4 of a cent with the top missing used to make the imprint. Definitely agree on PMD though... |
