Note that there are at least three raised dates near where the date should be, and at least a couple of reversed incuse dates in front of the nose. I will leave it up to the general discussion to guess why this was made, but with multiple raised strikes it suggests a soft die was involved so not Johnny in the garage but a real counterfeiter.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2749 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 09:24 am Hmmm, interesting. Is it possible the coin was originally multistruck and then Johnny or Jimmy tried recreating the error with a vice and different year coin?

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 11:30 am Couldn't you pound one coin into another coin, and then use that coin as your "die" to pound into another coin? i.e. it doesn't have to be all that complicated. Just a thought, I'm not experienced in coin abuse. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 12:23 pm Thanks for the great comments! I've never really known how soft dies were made, but yeah, lots of pounding coins back and forth going on here. Report this Post to the Staff
