The 1959 appears to be damage. Whether it was once encased(or attempted to be encased) or put in a vise we may never know. The L appears to me to show signs of mushrooming and damage(much like the top of the letters of IN.

An area on a coin can be depressed while still leaving the raised detail relatively intact, the 1959 is an excellent example of this- it is indeed post strike damage.[B][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][SIZE=2]Chris & Charity Welch- [COLOR=red]LIVEAN[/COLOR][COLOR=black]DIE[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]VARIETIES[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

Is putting a coin in a vise considered vice?

Yes Will, I would think so because it is damaging a coin for no good reason except to give us something to have to figure out

When they are placed in a vise with other coins the design transfers. On a couple of coins put between a 2X2 and smacked with a hammer, you see the damage on just one area of the coin. I'm thinking this is probably how it happened.Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use, and I'm glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested.
