HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24918 Posts	Posted 07/04/2024 04:03 am Two coins piled up and struck with a hammer, perhaps. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 07/04/2024 06:57 am Yes exactly. If this was a clashed die, then the transfer of design would occur on the high points of the dies (which are the low points of the coins, such as the field around Abe's head). Instead the transfer of design is on the high points of the coin which means that you have a spender here.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 07/04/2024 09:30 am Also note that the letters on the face are backwards... This is a Vise/hammer job. We see lots of these 'manufactured' so called error coins. (Especially on the Lincoln Cent coins as the metal is much softer in order to make an impression.) Collecting since 1972.
