eric273 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 05/29/2011 5:41 pm I agree with adam. Also a mint machine wouldn't create that much damage Report this Post to the Staff
Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 05/29/2011 11:56 pm Ohhhh... I didn't even look at the lettering Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 9:43 pm I used to make these at the gas station I worked at on rain nights haha I would smash all kinds of coins on the floor with a hammer making a whole register of 2 sided pennies, penny/dime mixes you name it coin wise and I smashed them together after I checked the coins for anything I wanted that is people always got excited when they received change like that from me.

This is most ofter refered to as a "vise job". Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
cents1st Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 05/31/2011 12:30 am This was altered after it left the Mint. There are some famous 1963's and 1969's just like it. Report this Post to the Staff
