About 50 years in fact since the owner of the coin received it in change. The coin's owner sent us the coin to have us evaluate it's authenticity and provide an explanation as to the origins of the coin. While we are the first people to view the coin personally for several decades it's not the first time it's been written about. It appeared in Australasian Coin and Banknote Magazine in February 2013 on page 28 in an article by Ian McConnelly. The penny also appeared in Renniks Australian Pre-Decimal & Decimal Coin Errors (McConnelly 2015) on page 15. Mr. McConnelly describes the coin as "a Brockage that has occurred on both sides of the coin but in an opposite application". Read the Entire Article Report this Post to the Staff

The rim is from the collar die, for this to be struck by normal dies, then two capped dies at the same time, is almost impossible, especially centred in collar (which is designed for one coin, not three). Given the pressure from a coin press, a sandwich would destroy the rim, not light impress denticles into them.
