[QUOTE="Eric the Red, post: 6760471, member: 118899"]Thank you Bob. Excellent post. I will be adding the photos you requested in moments. I will answer your questions in order. 1) The error is recessed from the coin on both the obverse and reverse. It is deeper and more prominent on the obverse then it is on the reverse. I would say 2x deeper on the obverse of the coin.(2 to 1) compared to the reverse. 2) Yes the error is tapered. It is thickest closest to the coin and gets thinner going out. The tip or front part of the error is approximately half the thickness of the coin itself. 3) There appears to be very little to no die rotation. I will post pictures of this separately and mark them as such, to try and capture any die rotation. 4) I ordered 2 scales and rush delivered one of them. (The suspense is killing me :) ) One scale measures .001 Grams the other .01 Grams I look forward to solving this enigma with you and the rest of the wonderful and knowledgeable CT community. Photo's to follow Thank you Bob and everyone else who is helping out. I appreciate it greatly and having much fun.:)[/QUOTE]
