NickG Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 12:51 pm Notice how the image of the memorial is incused where they should be raised and the raised portions are incused. This would not have happened at the mint during the striking process. So the only way that happens if coins are put in something like a vise and pressed together with enough force to transfer the image. Report this Post to the Staff

Always remember to use the "CCF SEARCH" - it's a wealth of knowledge. Here's a typical topic search on vise jobs and the coin in question............ http://goccf.com/t/355236 Report this Post to the Staff

The only way this can happen at the mint is on a brockage, in which case the correct design shouldn't be there at all. Report this Post to the Staff
