MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 7:18 pm Agree on the squeeze job. The rim would account for the indent in the N. Can't be a steel cent, the shape of the digit showing does not match the nine of a 43 cent. I believe the digit imposed on your coin is a six, maybe 56 from the shape of it. Of course I could be just full of------copper. Report this Post to the Staff

(No it wasn't from me) Both sellers claimed they were genuine. Both vice squeezed. The Dime one may have been pressed into a blank planchet as no Cent devices show. The bottom images on the second image were reversed to show what they should have look like if they were real....NOT! Report this Post to the Staff
