Easily enough done.
Sticky tape three coins together, and hit them with a 10 pound rock hammer.
Be careful: All three will fly. FAST. Make sure that there are no kids around.
A scatter shield of boxes around help to recover them.
SOME SAY: that I am a bit of a ham. I agree. I think I am a nice hammer!

Know what you mean guys...How could anyone be fooled by a garage hammer error...Hey, that is what we should call them from now on a "GARAGE HAMMER ERROR"....  |

Bm0ney... This was accumulated over time in a bag that I threw pennies into and just got around to looking at them.

There is a seller in Canada selling a super rare, if not unique (sarcasm), 1977 flipover double strike Cent for a cool 1.35 Million... Maybe you can contact him on your rare find and offer it to him for _________ (fill in a random inflated price here) and let him know he's getting the bargain of the 21st Century...

Im serious, I would just like to know how you determine a real mint error as compared to a forgery? Could that coin not be a real mint error. Just curious.Thanks

I dont know if youre trying to joke redlee but jut incase youre not I thought id add this: You can tell its PMD because under the damage there is the detail of the coin. If it was struck through then there would not be such good detail under the indent. If you were thinking it was a double strike then have a think. If it was double struck the the area that was struck second would have to have a new strike. Check out broken coins avatar you will see one of the later strikes shows a second date struck.

CCF is pretty light hearted most of the time. The trouble with the internet is sarcasm and humour is very easily lost and it can be hard to differentiate between a joke and a genuine question.
