[Buffalo Head]

Show me some of your coins "Business strikes" that's stuck so hard you can see it all, I mean everything that coin has to offer and then some, the hammered specimens from 1951 and older from any alloy anything !!!!!

 

Show me the coins that's struck so hard they may have busted the dies !!!!!!!! These are the coins I'm just dieing to see....Thank you for helping me out.....Joe

Okay then....I'll start 1915 pcgs ms-66 and it's hammered, looks more like a proof and of course I feel the 66 is out of line....

This is one of the best wreath (reverse) strike I have ever seen (1910)

 

The obverse is amazing too, but not shown here because a fatal cleaning mistake ruined what would have been ......a super gem.

 

I use this reverse as an example of what a ear of corn should taste like!

That nickel is the definition of hammered Joe. I know you have several to chose from.

[BOILER78]

 

actually hammered

[MorganMan]

Hammered and riveted!

 

And I do not think the die was "busted"....but the coin sure was.....

This small Lincoln campaign medal was obviously a special striking for 19th century collectors. It has a HUGE fin on the left side of the reverse.

Despite the fact that the 6th step is incomplete, this is one of the best struck Jefferson Nickels I have ever seen.

 

 

HAMMERED

This one really is hammered:

...qualify?

 

 

No, I think that "run over" would be a better description.

[Buffalo Head]

...qualify?

 

 

More like it was stuck on the bottom of someones shoe...

[BillJones]

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought that you met this. Now this Charles I English 6 piece WAS hammered, literally.

...qualify?

 

 

Looks like it was found in the bottom of an incinerator.

[Buffalo Head]

All really great examples, except for the 2009 Lincoln....

Joe, you're killing me with all those first year Buffs. I need one for my type set. When I finally buy one, I hope it's half as nice as some of yours.

[Buffalo Head]

 

This one I I just picked up and it's on it's way to ngc at this moment...This 1918 I feel is over the top for the date, it's a tough one....Joe
