mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 01/14/2011 5:50 pm This is a fake. The obverse was struck several times by a fake die while the reverse face rested against hard leather or a similar surface. It's also possible that the fake die had several impressions and the coin was struck once by it. There are tons of fake multi-strikes like this among 1964 cents. Most are multi-struck on the obverse only, but a few were struck by a fake die on each face. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

urbnlgnd Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 02:02 am This coin was on ebay back in November or December. I was going to go as high as $400 on the bidding. If I am thinking of the correct coin, it was taken down with 2 days left in the auction and it was already in the 3-400 dollar range. Maybe the seller found out it was a fake and pulled the auction, or maybe it was reported, but whatever the case I am happy I didn't win it now. I'm glad I watch this site, as I don't post much, but gather a lot of information from the regular posters. Thanks for the knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 01/15/2011 09:14 am Ya I was going to get the nickel in the photos below but I was told by it was a hammered coin as well. I did offer to buy it at a reduced price since I still thought it was neat. The guy decided to keep it but I did save photos of it. Report this Post to the Staff
