Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 03:02 am IMO it's not real, but a shed job using fake dies. The overlap is too soft and there's damage on the other side where the coin was "double struck". Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 06:07 am I believe that slurexe is correct, this is still a cool find and representation though....fake or not I'm lovin' the 9977 on this coin. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 09:35 am Yep a vise job! For a "better" job you squeeze two blanks (any kind of blanks or slugs will work) together with a coin between them within two pieces of leather. Then the two blanks become soft dies and are good for one use or more; later squeezes more distorted and showing more images from later squeezes some mirror/incuse. What it must take to waist one's time making something like this so easily detected by the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 5:41 pm what Mr. Potter described seems to be common knowledge, in fact I heard the same process being discussed today by another expert/ forum member at the coin expo. besides he has probably experimented...you need to learn about them and how to make them so you can detect them right?
