I see. That probably won't do the job. I will try to see what my scale is, it might be $15-$20 on Amazon. There might be other ways to tell a...
Ahh. I think I own a good, inexpensive one if you are curious. You might get good use out of it. How sensitive of a scale do you have?
Fred Weinberg is the best of the best. Nice error Paddy. Someday, I will have to get something off of his website too. :)
I believe weight is a good indicator of tapered planchet errors, but I am not an expert in rolling errors.
Right. You are the expert in this area, but I assume you also would not consider this to be a true rolled thin planchet. Or is it rolled thin,...
I think lamination as well.
Maybe tilted die. Perhaps slightly tapered planchet?
Nice one!
Maybe spent some time in the ocean.

I know what you mean with that interesting sheen-blue tone. I like it a lot.

I saw that page too! It had some good info and nice pictures on there. I think that saving all the 1974-PDS cents is a good idea actually! I think...
Thanks! I appreciate the honesty. I never know how to store things like this. Would you put it in a plastic tube with others? Plastic or cardboard...
Never known that diagnostic. Thanks again, as always, for your insight. This is a great help. And the coin looks great, too!
You would keep it because of its condition or because it's a little light? Thanks.
Glad to hear I'm not totally off-base! Sometimes I wonder with all the effort it takes to check every coin. It is a rewarding process, though.
Well, that is very interesting. Obviously quite a lot was going on that year. I appreciate your response! I still haven't taken a picture of it...
Now, what if somebody did use this as a pocket piece... that would be very interesting. If it's not painted it might be "ruthenium plated."
