IMO, the coin was made from an impression. not mint made.

It's either that or you took the picture of a reflection of the coin in mirror.

Looks like someone took a cent planchet and squeezed it between Two Cents. It's not from the Mint.

The pictures were not taken through a mirror. I my opinion is it was sandwiched between two coins and the coins did not line up making it look off center. What a waste of some good coins.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it..

I would check the weight and diameter. If they are correct, especially the diameter being a pefect circle, I would doubt that the coin is manmade. It would be highly unlikely to press 3 coins(center one being a blank) together with enough force to imprint the details so accurately and maintain a pefect circle. nlp

strange, a squeeze job would have incuse lettering and design.

These do not appear to be so.


still, I would withhold opinion.

Far too unusual to be real.

but...
