When i was looking at it i saw what looks like a "E" on the rim and maybe a 3 is it a over strike or what is going on with it maybe a clash? Thanks for any help in advance~ Type2.

    Can't tell what is going on. The lack of any corresponding marks on the reverse makes me think it is not a double strike.

    It looks like the planchet was clashed with something but not sure what. I have acquired a headache looking at it though! It's an interesting piece to look at and wonder.

    Ya it's crazy, I sent in the other one hoping it's a good one. It's a barber dime on a small planchet of some kind and i forgot to take a pic of it. image

    Ricko nailed it.

    PMD.

    Sandwiched with another coin in a pressure device like a vice.

    PMD is correct.

    It didn't leave the Mint looking like that
    on the rims, surfaces, etc.....

    Another coin was pressed against it....

    I dont see how that can be, it would be pressed in not up you think? The stars and numbers would be smash in. But i guess it can happen. image

    How would having another coin pressed against this one make the raised areas of interest, that seems to be reverse of what would happen?
