I really can't tell with this coin. Is it a brockage that has been restruck or is it someone that has struck another coin into this one. I want to beleive it's a genuine error.
What do you think?

I want to believe it's real too--and nobody did that to a nice old coin.
I'm not familiar enough with the minting process for this coin--I'll forward this on to a friend who might know.

I thing its a fake because the impression of the words of skilling and banco seems to be imprinted a little to much around the letters XIV Then on those letters themselves (XIV)and if you look closer to the O next to the V you will see that the O is deeper the the letter C over the V, Which tells me that this may have been a (Vise Job)wear another coin would have properly bent around the higher portion of the coin you were trying to impress another design into,,,the copper is alot more softer then a hard steel of a die which I would have believed would have showed a equal amount of depth in the coin since this letters are so close to each other....I might be wrong but that is what I see

I'm glad you know what to look for
I was unsure on the type of press used, and what was possible.
