Will someone look at this and tell me if this was done at home in a vise or actually done at the mint.

    Fake, the secondary image is incuse. Probably done as you surmise, with a vise.

    OMG That is laughable.

    You would think they would at least only try to do one side not both.

    What a rip.

    So actually this Flip-Over Homemade Strike is more of a Oreo Cookie deal where 3 pennies are used in a vise and what's listed on Ebay is the Oreo's squeezed Cream.

    Wow 14 bidders and 57 bids later... now that's sad!

    It's a real shame when such an item is listed by someone with 100% positive feedback, as the trust factor kicks in for it being legit.
