This 1999 here has a pretty cool strike threw. That is if I'm using the right terminology. What do you thing. Nice coin or staged,faked, who knows. Report this Post to the Staff

Kevinburchett84 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 05:10 am Switch that being brought to my attention. I did belive that it was kinda unusual that the impressions left were reversed. Or backwards. This is whyi post them for appenions. Thanks I do have another one to post in a few. I did find one of those glue jobbies. Lol. They do look rather cool but glue is glue Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2959 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 05:52 am with John1, I had to look a tad closer to see the letters were backwards therefore inconsistent with a true double strike, but consistent with a vise job. This would be fairly valuable if this was a true flipover double strike . Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 07:08 am When they are mirrored, they were transferred from another coin, not from the die. The dies being negatives, creates positive coins. When a positive coin is used, it creates a negative design (mirrored) Hope this explanation helps to keep it in mind. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 07:44 am Yep, another coin was pressed into this one using a vise. As Coop stated, you can see the reversed lettering on it.
