Found coin, thoughts?

[Mrs. Krabs]

Hi, I have a coin that I would like to show and discuss it. There are a lot of photos, click them and you can zoom in further in the next open window.

I am looking forward to seeing what information anyone can help me with.

What you have is a form of vandalism commonly referred to as a "squeeze job", "hammer job", "vise job", or "sandwich job". A nickel was squeezed or hammered into the reverse face of your cent while the obverse rested on a hard, flat surface.

Squeeze

Do you have any reference pictures for me to study? Links or other blog posts would be cool too.

I have not seen anything on the internet like this thing, and would like to compare and contrast.

Thanks!!

That coin had it .. Wow..

[Mrs. Krabs]

Lol! I keep hearing about them, just never see any others online. I will have to do another Google search and see if I can find some more to look at.

I assumed that at lease one side would have to be heated to create a "stamp" on another coin.

But "When you assume...." ROFL

Heating the coin would make little difference in the way that it would except a transfer of design elements from coin to coin. Nickel has a melt point of 2651 F and copper 1984 F, so the coins would have to become pretty hot to start making the surface begin to melt.
