Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 5:28 pm Take Two Cents and put them in a vise and flatten them together or put tow coins together and hit them with a hammer. Either way it is PSD. Edited by Jim0815 07/23/2019 5:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2019 5:34 pm Looks like a clear finish on one side of the coin. When squashed in a vise, then the clear finish cracked like glass. People murder coins all the time. Trying to [create] a mint error. But when they realize it doesn't look like an error coin, what to do with it? Spend it. Then they end up here when the next owner finds them. (We have seen some duezies here. (Sorry I had to create a word there. LOL) Report this Post to the Staff
