Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 7:02 pm Hard to tell from photos, but most of the time this happens when two coins get glued together and then popped back apart, leaving a negative image in glue on top of one of the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
nine15 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 7:14 pm Thanks for the response, but this is definitely stamped into the coin, not glue residue. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 8:21 pm Could be what is referred to as a 'vise job'. Two coins are held together and squeezed or struck transferring a reverse stamped image from one coin to the other.

nine15 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 8:38 pm Thanks! I've never heard of that before, why would someone do that? Report this Post to the Staff

When I was a kid we'd play with torches and heat pennies to cherry red, and then beat them together with hammers. Why? Because if was fun. I grew up in a very mechanical environment and had easy access to tools. Post a photo of your penny from an angle. Something is strange. If that was pressed in a vise, I would have expected to see some damage on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 12:08 am Seems to be some sort of counterstamp. Scene seems to be part of Tiananmen Square, China. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74889 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 12:26 am To CCF! That's glue residue on your coin. Since this happened after it left the U.S. Mint (after the strike), it's Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
nine15 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 12:36 am I appreciate your responses, but to clarify, it is definite not counterstamped or set in the coin, the second image is raised the same as Lincoln's image and is very clearly, not Tieneman square( *** cough cough).its the Lincoln memorial Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 11:24 am The area I circled is indicative of glue. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 11:29 am I am definitely in the glue camp. That is also the reason the coin is a different color in that area. I suspect a soak in acetone would remove it. Report this Post to the Staff
nine15 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 8:44 pm That area is where you are saying glue is depressed,not raised. I think I'll see a pro about this one Report this Post to the Staff
