Easy.. When the blank planchets arrived in bins to be poured into the minting presses to be struck there was that piece of webbing mixed in. The piece was struck and it was found by one lucky person.
Cool!

 

Hmmm... If it were struck on a fragment wouldn't it be smeared or something? Did somebody destroy this coin without messing up the details?

 

Very nice error. That piece of webbing easily fits into the coining chamber.

 

No.. The fragment is still the same thickness as a normal planchet. It would be stuck just the same.
It's a known error. Not the first ever found.

 

Nope, it's the real deal.

 

But my question is, is how it being struck wouldn't move the fragment, flipping it over or shifting?

 

That is a pretty sweet piece though.

 

Nope.. It fit perfectly into the chamber and it was struck once.

Thanks! I got it now! It WAS just a weird concept to me...

 

Nice price tag on it also. This is something Fred would likely have, if he didn't already. Thanks for the info Ed.

 

I wonder how it got through the Upsetting Mill.

 

Good question, click on the photo and follow through and it seems not to have any rim. Must have just slid through...

 

Yeah, it probably "slid through" someone's pocket.
