Got to go with the EF idea. As to all the other things wrong with that coin it appears as if someone had another coin on top of it and hit it with a hammer to cause the other ghost images.

I have to ask..what is it with everyone and hammers? makepoint.gif I posted a cent on here and someone proposed that it was hammered...if that were true then the images would be reversed...try it and you'll see what I mean . It would be a mirror(backwards)image. The damage is mechanical too. Under higher magnification the letters in Liberty are shifted , AW also appears (smaller) under the chin, a 1 is actually behind the 9 , 4, and 2. It looks as if it were struck 4 or 5 times with 3 different dates rather than 2.

I found my outlet on the Money Marketplace now I don't (I pray) have to go back to ebay ever again to sell a coin. I made money on it but paid too much for seller fees. Spent 300.00 and only made 270.00 so it wasn't working for me. Daddy needs a tiller .

I still don't have my tiller so this morning I threw my hands up and put every coin I have out there. We'll see what happens...has anyone here had to, out of neccessity , part with their coins? It is a pretty time consuming hobby.
