If you look at the reverse you can see that some of the letters were altered opposite the foreign rim on the obverse. Edited by coop 10/05/2015 6:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 10/06/2015 9:38 pm Just curious. How does the extra rim come out raised from the top to the shoulder and then incuse from there to the lower rim? Shouldn't it be all incuse if the foreign rim is laid over the top of the LWC between two boards and hit with a hammer as suggested? It doesn't look like it was another LWC on top, as the extra arc is flatter. Perplexed! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 12:28 pm The rim on the coin that was struck against this one may have been flattened a bit before this event. The ring across the tops of the deeper devices are a real clue that the coin was damaged. A doubled struck coin doesn't show the rim because it is not on the die. Formed between the die and collar. Note how the second strike doesn't show the rim when the coin is struck the second time? Report this Post to the Staff

It isn't raise coming off the shoulder, optical illusion. And there is damage on the reverse. Notice the flattening on the memorial above the second bay. Report this Post to the Staff
