@rke, yes we see these things pretty often here on CCF. If you type VISE JOB into the search bunch, you will see a whole bunch of threads with them.

One would think that, because one of the busts was facing in the wrong direction, people would automatically know that it could not have happened at the mint.

I agree with tooled coin.
One can further his/her knowledge of minting process by research and study the coin minting process and it'll help to understand coins can not come out of mint looking this way, the first give away is the reversed impression of the devices onto the primary coin.
