On the money weight for a dime and quarter combined.
Canadian dime 1.75 gram
Canadian quarter 4.43

If this was a quarter that went into a 10 cent press that then had a 10 coin jammed into it, it would have expected the convex side of the coin to have had marks form a harsh impact (s). Instead it has a nice smooth rounded appearance. with no signs of impactSo I am gong to guess that a dime was place on top of a quarter and the two coins were than seated on top of a cyclindrical die with a hole in it that was larger than a dime but smaller than a quarter.. This was then placed into a press where significant presssure was gradually applied to the 10 dent coin, forcing the quarter to bend up around it as the two coins were forced downward into the die.

Not genuine error IMO. I think it could be created with a small smooth pipe just under the size of a quarter-place the caribou side on the pipe end, place in press or vice, place dime on the quarter and put a wooden dowl on the dime and start winding the pressure. Spreads out and distorts the quarter almost making it look like a die cap of sorts and Voila I want to add a thank you for your work Daryl, sometimes the best way to learn is to try to duplicate or create    Edited by Alan

Definitely not to be confused with a real nested die cap...

I wonder how long it will take for one to show up on ebay? Likely it will happen. Again, thanks Daryl, very proactive to do this sort of thing. I hope the grading companies do this themselves so they know when something like this rolls in. |

Thanks Alan, I know with certainty that these will not make it to ebay. I also know that these will not accidentally make there way into a vending machine. |

I've never seen a real die cap with reeding on the edge. That's a bit of a tip-off that it is PMD. Nicely done though! |

Nicely done DD. For the record Roger, it was a 5 lb maul. Not no stinking hammer. LOL

Oh haha, I didn't mean those ones Darryl, pardon me, I meant if some fraudster trying to push ones they created off on ebay. vise jobs and hammer jobs have a lot of tells, but this "mated cap" or whatever the term would be, it may pass a novice, it's quite good and good of you for doing it so we know exactly what to look for if one similar pops up. |

I carry a 12 lbs maul when I have some serious rock cracking to do....
