foreverteachable Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I had the opportunity do work with my union today and afterwards a buddy had asked me to help him detect a rental property that was having its foundation repaired. I got to use my new at pro for the first time that a buddy had given me today. The site was loaded with iron because they had to take the house and move it off the foundation but that detector with a small coil sure sniffed out some goodies.This was a pretty neat find, it looks like it's stamped backwards or reverse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LipCa Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Only way that could happen would be if another dime was pressed into that dime.... another dime left in your hole? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can actually happen at the mint -- a coin isn't ejected from the die and the next strike is made with the previous coin stuck in the die, resulting in a mirror image face. The numismatic term for this is 'brockage'. If authentic they can have values in the $50 range, depending upon many variables. Of course someone playing around with a soft metal such as lead could produce the same result on a bench using a hammer.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yep, most likely at the mint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverteachable Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks everyone for the replies and comments. I don't know the history of how it came to be but just another reason why I love detecting so much, the thrill of the hunt and the find, the research before and after, and the great people you interact with. Have a great week everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
