Rollhunter1994 Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 05/16/2009 12:35 pm I am pretty sure that that is a clashed die error, but I'm really new to error coins. Report this Post to the Staff
payton hand New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 05/16/2009 1:02 pm i don't think it can be a die clash because the memorial is not level on the obv. of the coin like it should be it if was a clash. Payton Report this Post to the Staff

Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 05/16/2009 3:59 pm Mike's correct, post Mint damage. Could have been squeezed in some type of clamp pressing the Cents together, which tranfered the designs on the coins hign points. A clashed die would be opposite this, thus making this a impossible error. ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 05/16/2009 7:37 pm Jim's description is correct. These vandalized coins are generally referred to as "squeeze jobs", "vise jobs", "sandwich jobs", and "hammer jobs". One or both faces are squeezed against another coin. In the case of this particular coin, it looks like the reverse was pressed against a textured surface while the obverse was pressed against another cent. Error coin writer and researcher.
