Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10497 Posts	Posted 07/26/2025 6:01 pm Well, you know me, I have to ask questions: If it's a vise job why isn't LIBERTY backwards (mirror image)? And why is LIBERTY so large ? EDIT: Am I reading this wrong? Edited by Marv65 07/26/2025 6:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/26/2025 9:28 pm @marv, I was more focused on the arcuate groove on both sides. The extra LIBERTY appears to be surface staining, no?

I was looking at the same thing. It has all the ear marks of a vise job (a 'sandwich' one with this coin in the middle, but the only marks I se on the reverse is the rim impression and nothing else from the device elements. it is all very strange. One thing is that maybe the 'liberty' above the date is so large is because the metal has stretched some, but why not reversed? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

If it is staining, that has to be some crazy, equally spaced, coincidences.... EDIT: And it's curved that looks like it's on a coins radius! Maybe a dime's LIBERTY? But then that doesn't make sense either. Edited by Marv65 07/26/2025 10:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7010 Posts	Posted 07/27/2025 12:52 am Radius on coin...incomplete cut (stamped) blank... that's all I got. As far as the "Liberty"goes.... I'll let Marve figure it out...I got nothin Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10497 Posts	Posted 07/27/2025 01:57 am I guess E&V was right about the dime. Took me awhile but it looks like the leg of the L didn't strike up. You can tell LIBERTY is indeed backwards by matching the bottom of the B and the bottom legs of the R. Mirror image indeed........ My work here is done - I must go now.
