<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NeoNumis69, post: 1319964, member: 33967&quot;]I agree, understand and expect your pessimism, but I am fishing for opinions of the possibility, of course, obviously it should be graded professionally to know the&nbsp; scientific truth, but knowing a bit about the mechanics of it&#039;s origin would be nice to help justify why it might be worth that trouble to&nbsp; the owner. So, the short story becomes long again...I am convinced it can&#039;t&nbsp; be standard PMD because as I stated, it was found in an actual <span style="color: #ff0000"><i>uncirculated, mint issued roll,</i></span>&nbsp; which was purchased from the bank...(though I did fail to mention this&nbsp; actually happened in 1943, the year it was minted). Still that fact&nbsp; implies it came from the mint itself, which eliminates handling and&nbsp; manipulation. The owner vividly remembers getting the roll, later&nbsp; sorting it and finding the coin, in the condition you see. It was then&nbsp; placed in a small envelope and put away. The collector liked oddities,&nbsp; she also discovered some other clip error coins and the likes of as time&nbsp; passed, even made the news back in the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s for some of her&nbsp; findings. If it was anyone else, I would certainly doubt their story and&nbsp; motives, but this is my 86 year old Grandmother, a pillar of our community, my life&nbsp; and an exemplary numismatist, she got me into it - I have blind faith in her word. I am more curious as&nbsp; to what stage/s of the mint process could do something like this. And as&nbsp; to the weight, it weighs 2.7g, while the other 5 I have all weigh 2.8g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
