j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/25/2010 08:20 am that coin makes no visual sense to me. If it were hammered/pressed alone, the relief on the obv side would be different. And, unless the maker cut the rim off another penny and then squeezed it onto this penny, the rim of this penny would be mashed. It's early am. Maybe I'll get it later on.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/26/2010 12:50 am I don't see any way that it could be an error. It is a definite vise job/hammer job/clunker:-) Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
