Struck thru or deteriorated die

What type of error?

The rim and edge looks damaged. Could of been in a coin bezel once then removed. So circulation wear on the lettering.
IMHO

 

IMHO, this s a genuine, undamaged, original coin with a trace of rub. Planchet metal did not fill the die. There are many causes for this effect. Rather than propose that a ring of grease was on the die, this effect was probably caused either by an under tolerance planchet or the press was not set up correctly. You can see the original planchet surface in the weak areas of your coin. Very nice keeper!

 

does it have reeding?

 

???

 

Pretty picture Paddy. May we have some more.

 

Haha..
That's not a damaged rim to you?
Interesting..

 

No. But I'll say 98% probably not just to keep the discussion going.

What do you think happens to the upturned rim of a planchet when the pressure of the dies is not enough to push metal into the die recesses and collar?

 

U know that's a good question. Not sure, I'll ck when I get home. And imo this is def an unc coin

 

Btw this is a 41 S!. Can barely see it

 

Looks like it could be

1. Rolled Thin planchet - check the weight, in grams or grains.

2. Weakly struck - is the reeded edge full, or weakly reeded?

Based on what I can see, and not knowing the weight, I'd say
it's on a slightly rolled thin planchet.

 

The weight was slightly more than a 63 d I compared it to

 

Weight is 6.24 gr. Reeded edge weak in parts not as weak in others
