kikicatUSA New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 4:14 pm I found this penny (Iam new to this) and Need help figuring out what it is. It looks like it was stamped twice (once inverted) and the back us totally different from a penny image. It weighs 3.15g. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 4:26 pm Sorry to say that is a vise job, just damage. Another cent was squeezed or pounded into it causing the reverse image. Edited by lcutler 03/25/2023 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 7:07 pm to the CCF and vise job. The way to tell is that when they squeeze the other coin into it, it leaves a mirrored or backwards impression. We see a lot of these here. Your 1st one is exciting, the next one you'll know it's just damage. Report this Post to the Staff

kikicatUSA New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 04:33 am I'm so bummed. I found in with in a hugh pail of wheat coins the guy was selling for 8 for $1. BTW...that's a fork holding it up. I'd never use pliers either. Thanks for all the input and I learned something as well. Although I would never have guessed it purposely being done. I'll keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 06:05 am Disappointed that the consensus is a "vise job". If I had found it I would have thought it was an amazing mint error. Can a vice really INVERT the relief like this? That's also amazing in itself. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 03/26/2023 06:12 am The inverted device is the main evidence that it is a vise job. Another coin was squeezed into this coin, the device on the other coin makes a reverse impression on this one causing the inverted image. Report this Post to the Staff
