Looks like a few members are jealous because ole Rascal knows more about error coins than they do. Well after they put in their time learning as ole Rascal has done then they may learn a few new things.

 

I agree with the weight check. If the coin has the correct weight, then the only other option is that two planchets were feed into the stamping die area stacked when struck. Then released/cleared together. It then could then separate, and then be missed. The coin then would have the correct weight. It could/have gone allthe way to anyone then.

 

I'm so jealous, I could just p my pants.

 

You see how he quoted you instead of me?
By the way, Classic responce that was funny.

 

Apparently @rascal knows more about cuttin un pastin tew

 

Well Dear you might want to get off here long enough to change those panties .

 

Hey there, wanted to stop in and give my 2 cents (pun intended), first of all this sure is a odd cent! There are several possibilities that most likely caused this but what gets me is there is no rim on the back slick side, if it where struck like this with a blank planchet then It should have the rim still, however I encourage you if you have a LCS (local coin shop) take her in there and let an expert look it over, Im sure many are experts here but they should know as well, theres no way to be 10000% without inspecting it in person. Again I think it was altered but you deff. deserves more attention. Have a great day!

 

Hi Silver Bull30
Coin blanks have a rolled rim which creates a partial rim before they are struck. When two blanks enter the coining chamber at the same time and get's struck by the dies this flattens the rolled rims out quite a bit. I have never 100% said for sure that the OP'S coin was a real uniface coin because I have never had it in hand. But I will say again and agree with you that this coin deserves a better look. JMO

 

Hey Rascal,
