ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19210 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 08:47 am Yes. In this case, a rather extreme vise job. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 08:48 am Quote: which doesn't make sense if it was done in a vise True if it was only squeezed once, but it appears as though the coin has repositioned a couple times and then resqueezed.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 1:34 pm Agree, obvious backwards lettering on your coin. Evident of a "Vise Job". Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10598 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 6:18 pm Remember to show reverse pictures too - usually the reverse is damaged when the obverse is affected with the squeeze details. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 11/16/2024 9:13 pm an over the top vise job I say. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Imagndat1 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 3:52 pm Here is the reverse showing the damage as was stated in one of the replies. I don't get why someone would damage something to the point of worthlessness? Must have been angry that this represented the highest number they could count to!!! Thanks again all.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/17/2024 3:59 pm Damaging coins might be an outlet for anger, but more likely it's done for fun or to deceive. Report this Post to the Staff
