    It's a sandwich coin. Another coin was pressed on each side of the coin. PMD

    I see. Somehow that occurred. I wonder how and where. Hmmmm...Thanks Mr. W!

    Yep...done usually in a vise.... one clue, on this one, is that both the obverse and the reverse show the reverse of the other coins... Of course, that is not always the case on these fakes... Cheers, RickO

    I believe it to be a vise coin. Where, most likely in a garage as an experiment.

    When I was a kid in the we used to hammer nickels down and they would match a quarter and work in the arcade....lol
