What is this crazy coin? Real or manufactured?

Is this thing for real or did somebody produce this error in their basement?

I can't quite tell by the pic. Can you brighten it up a little??

[stckplunge]

Ok smarties - I increased the size of the picture just a little so everyone could view it - gosh!!

Looks like a dime & quarter squeezed in a vise.

the words from the dime are backwards but the impression word "one" is missing. maybe the dime had a piece broken off and squeezed onto the quarter to flatten it

What gives me pause is that the "Liberty" is on top of everything else. Skeptical but maybe.

can we see the other side ?

It may not have been made in a basement, after all, it might have been made in a garage.

I dont have a picture of the other side yet - maybe tonight, but the description of the other side is that you can clearly see the outline of FDR's head

Looks like maybe some more trick photography. Kind of makes ya leary of what people are trying to pass off nowadays. I think they realize that there are more vulnerable buyers out there that don't have enough knowledge or resources to check into stuff like this!

Undoubtedly a homemade sandwich piece,

I agree. Place two coins together between a couple of pieces of wood. Squeeze tightly in a vice, and Woo Hoo! Home made error!
