Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/15/2019 2:15 pm to the CCF! It the size and thickness of the pressed coin is normal, it could be that someone used a metal tube and stacked the coins before they hammered or "vised" them. The tube would act as a collar and keep the metal from expanding beyond the normal coin's size. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 12/15/2019 2:20 pm Don't be discouraged Pagoon, sometimes patience pays off. Especially when it comes to coin hunting, you win some you lose some but if you don't continue to look you will never find anything. This like the others said, is unfortunately just a vise job but you can always hold onto it and keep it as an example so if you find another you will know if it is real or not! Impression Pressed into the coin (like yours) = vise job/Fabricated after mint Impression Raised OFF of the coin = Possibly a Mint made error (could be real but you should still doubled check on here) Happy searching!
