Circus Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Michigan State numismatic club 50th year nickleThe reverses follow the obverse of the coin. Sometimes they are more interesting than the obverse The Marysville coin club always has interesting pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Very nice squishers. There are still a number of places that have machines so you can make your own squished coins. There are a number of websites dedicated to this hobby. Below is one that I have found interesting. http://custompressedpenny.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Very neat items. Is the color off on the photos? They appear to be copper squished coins but are obviously based on Jefferson Nickels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yes it is due to reflection of my hands holding the phone taking the photos. You don't want to see the color corrections I tried to do as they were worse. I will have to figure something out since this is a new development. Same with some of the Mardi Gras doubloons which are natural aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Color is off and adjusting it has only made them worse this one is a nickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Agree with Art. I love that you can see the Lincoln obverse so cleanly. Who prefers the obverse side showing vs. the reverse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 That's what caught my eye on the Halloween nickles the package was on the reverse, and there was enough patina on them when they were run thru the rollers the dark was such a great contrast on them, on some of them you are right the reverse is beter than the obverse.

schutzenfester Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I was looking at this topic and thought I should post a couple of pictures of Swiss Schutzenfest medals that are oval. They are not elongated coins as per the usual here in the states but are struck/rolled in this fashion. The first is from Uster in the canton of Zürich, 1978 small caliber Cantonal Shoot. 33mm X 30mm and 7.3 grams .900 silver. The second is from the Canton of Appenzell, 1977 Cantonal Shoot, 34mm X 29mm and 7.25 grams .900 silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
