    It looks like some elements of a second strike in the obverse at one o'clock possibly. Looks like a design element disrupted the rim there

    Thanks for your opinion. It may be a fake, but in hand it's pretty convincing. I still can't understand how this could be done by squeezing the host coin between other coins without completely damaging the rim where it overlapped the host coin. How are letters on the host coin on top of the letters that were pressed into it's surface?
