foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 3:37 pm We lovingly call them "squeeze jobs". It was hammered between coins as stated or tightly squeezed in a vice. Either way. It's damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 10:09 pm Deffinite "squeeze job" as Foundinrolls called it. The other side of the coin should show squeeze damage also. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/16/2008 09:25 am I've made a few of those but not quite that good. I too use a vise just to experiment and on mostly very common coins. If you try making such coins it helps identifying them when you find them in change. Report this Post to the Staff
