1943Copper New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/25/2020 12:09 am Would this be considered a double die with rotation? it appears about 90 degrees of rotation off center, and showing what appears to be a bow tie above Liberty on the rim, as well as the letter T above the year 2000. The reverse is also mildly dented and doesn't sit quite flat. How would you classify this? DDO for (double die obverse) with rotation of 90 degrees? If not, what would be the nomenclature for it? I know the pictures are terrible, but it's my first attempt ever to take a picture of a coin. Any opinions/criticisms would be appreciated. Thank you all for any input.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 07/25/2020 04:49 am Sorry to say it is just damaged. It is a "vise job", or had another coin squeezed into it. You can see the reversed and incuse lettering by the date, this can only happen from another coin, not the die. Report this Post to the Staff

1943Copper New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 07/25/2020 08:05 am John1 Thanks for your input! Much appreciated. I had no idea as to what it was called. The coin was not showing signs of a vise type of marks on the obverse the MAD clash reference helps a lot. Thank you. Respectfully Report this Post to the Staff
