 Sorry, this is just someone having fun in the garage. Since the Memorial and its associated writing are not only backwards, but impressed into the surface, its a vise job. Two coins squeezed together in a vice. Pieces of wood can be used to help the coins receive minimal damage from the vice jaws themselves. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

@ww95, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that someone created this damage by squishing more than one cent together. It is only worth face value.

So for educational purposes I have a question about this one. How did the "vise job" Lincoln & date get lined up so perfectly with the Lincoln & date on the bottom. I understand the backwards reverse of the coin indicates a "vise job" but the correct facing Lincoln in confusing.

The host coin underneath is always going to look normal.

PSD. If the reverse lettering weren't backwards then you might have had something. Cool curiosity.

Okay..........I get it now. The picture is deceiving. It almost looks like a coin on top of another coin.........duh it's not! Thanks for not calling a dumb dumb head!

The first obvious clue for man made examples like this coin is the backwards and incuse impression of the devices from the opposite side of coin.definitely a hammer job.

It IS possible to have a legitimate strike with incused reversed lettering (second strike being a brockage strike), but is that case the original strike will be largely wiped out. and the other side will also have evidence of the second strike.
This coin does not look like a brockage second strike.
