It was done by squeezing Two Cents together in a vice. There won't necessarily be damage to the reverse if something is done to protect it from the jaws of the vice. Using a piece of leather or thick cloth works well. Report this Post to the Staff
coinseeker Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 02:21 am Just an aside. Hopefully coin collectors don't have too many "vices" however, those of us that tinker or have a workshop own at least one VISE. I believe that is the term that you intended to use. As for the reverse having no apparent damage, those that engage in doing "hammer" jobs or "vise" jobs will back the coin with something such as a piece of leather to keep from damaging the opposing side. After you've seen a few of these they are pretty easy to spot. Report this Post to the Staff
