Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 1:19 pm to the discovery farm! , me stumped. Usually fair at guessing how these would have been "fabricated", either mint error or by Little Johnnie in the Garage. Ah, there it is. At the 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock position on reverse is the flattened edge. Those " Reeding Marks" are the pattern of a vise's grip area. Was put into a vise and squeezed. The mark on reverse is a deep scratch( PMD) the edges around are raised up. OR It was held flat in a vise and something with a design was hammered into it, would explain flattened rims. .

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 6:28 pm Nickels don't have reeds on them. So it couldn't be a partial collar. Report this Post to the Staff

larryboy New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 11:02 am I'm not convinced that the marks on the back above the dome were made by vice grips. There are no matching marks on the front. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2017 2:50 pm The marks on the reverse field could be reeds from another coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/30/2017 3:36 pm w/Coop, Or if in a vise, one side was against wood, some vises have wooden inserts for woodworking use. This would explain why just one edge area is flattened. Edited by Crazyb0 09/30/2017 3:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
