Pics are way to close up to make a judgement, can you post full wide shot pics of the front and back on the coin?

Definitely a Vise-Job, not an error coin. It's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Errers and Varietys.

Ok cool. Just a question about the vise job... wouldn't it damage the coin on both sides?

Not necessarily, one side is the plane while the other is altered. The plane side isn't damaged (except tool marks)

Roger that.
I'm thinking a vice grip tool which the coin can be grabbed and pressured on both sides with the teeth. Thanks for the explanation

PMD (post minting damage) not a mint error. Probably a vise job.

Looks like it was done on a construction site with two coins, two pieces of wood a hammer and a roof nail. PSD. Spendable. |

Hi, I'm curious, how did they make that false rim on the obverse? It seems to be pressed in since you can still see the date, if it were scraped in, the date would be gone too. Thanks.

It's just the impression of the rim of the other coin sandwiched with it.

I see your point, and I don't doubt you're probably right, but wouldn't there be other signs of the other coin being pressed into it? Wouldn't other features be affected? For instance, the rest of the date to the left of the false rim?

No because the rim on the other coin is higher than the date. Also depends where and how evenly the pressure is applied.

Yeah, I kinda want to believe you, but that gouge is deep, if the rim went that deep into the coin, there would definitely be more signs of the pressing. I just can't leave it at that, I think it had to be done another way to explain why there isn't any other affects.
