Hello coin community. My name is Matt. The 12-B (Combat Engineer) part of my screen name was my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) in the Army. I collect mainly early and modern american coins with a few exceptions here and there. As far as the coin is concerned, it is downright amazing  All devices are raised, most of which are clearly defined. I honestly cannot determine or have really tried for that matter, wether this is a die clash, collar flip, or something else entirely. I lack the expertise that some of you folks have acquired over the years. Expertise that is very much respected and appreciated I might add  . The multitude and clarity displayed here is just incredible to me and it would be a shame to keep it to myself. So here it is for those who enjoy the coin most of us started with everyone. It's definitely my favorite piece in my collection right now. Hope you all like it    |

 And thanks for your service. The first pic clearly shows the lettering "AMERICA"amd "ONE CENT" is reversed. This indicates another penny was pressed onto the face of your coin. The second pic is harder to ake out details on. however, it does appear just to be a very interesting looking product of Three Cents being stacked and squeezed in a bench vice.

Unfortunately, a lot of interesting looking items turn out to be products of the basement or garage. Anything imaginable has been done to coins: gluing, painting, heating, cutting, smashing, banging, drilling, milling, sanding, etc.

@brown, can you please confirm that on the side in your first pic, *all* of the devices are raised? If so, then I'm not so sure that this is a vice vise job. It could still be purposeful damage (such as an impression made in clear, dried glue), but vise jobs leave incuse details.

This is the result of two coins that were glue together with a clear drying glue that were later pried apart. It is not the result of the so-called vise job.

Unless the the person responsible for making "vise" coins feels the need to make them, it could also be a vise job.. |

to the CCF! Yeah, it looks like glue to me too. Not an error. So is a vise a vice or is is vice versa? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
