300 coin guy Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 2:30 pm Here is one I found yesterday, it has an EXTRA "8" on the obverse plus near the bust it has (trust). You could see buy the rim that this is no SQUEEZE job on the coin. Image: 1989obversedieclash8.jpg 29.13 KB Image: 1989reversedieclash.jpg 29.18 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Are those details incuse or raised on the coin? If it were a die clash, I would expect reverse details to be on the obverse. I think a "vise job" might be more likely...but I'll wait to hear what the experts say. Report this Post to the Staff

jeffreyice1 Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 5:22 pm You can tell by the rim and the impression on the inner rim this is a squeeze job! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2008 1:26 pm Vise squeezed. The reverse letters on the bust is a dead give away. The 8 mirrored is still the same. But the rest of the letters show what really happened to it. The reverse shows some flattening removing some of the design. Usually if you find these in circulated coins, it is tampered with and re-spent. The example I posted was sold on ebay and someone got took. I emailed the seller that it was a fake, but I think he knew that. Report this Post to the Staff
