Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 7:21 pm Does anyone know if this is a common variety, an overstrike, or an error? I'm not finding anything about this coin on the internet. It's an 1866-M 10 Centesimi coin with what appears to be an overstrike of another 10 Centesimi 1867. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 7:42 pm @jay1234, are you sure that this is an actual overstrike? The fact one set of features is incuse and backwards almost certainly means that this may be a so-called "vise job" where one coin is squished between others in a machinist's vice thus transferring over part of the design.

Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 8:03 pm Spence, I have no idea. I have a feeling you may be right though. There is also a little damage on the obverse where it looks like it could have been held in a vise. Report this Post to the Staff
