<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 457639, member: 66&quot;]Something odd about that slabbed dime error.&nbsp; They are claiming a metal composition that hadn&#039;t been used in four years.&nbsp; Also the planchet for that coin was the same size as our dime.&nbsp; Yours you are claiming is smaller yet it is showing a well developed rim that is in contact with the lettering.&nbsp; The portion of the die that&nbsp; forms that rim is out beyond the lettering. If this was truly a smaller diameter planchet being struck by dime dies there would be no rim located where it is on this coin.&nbsp; If there was enough metal in a smaller planchet to create a rim it would still be located out beyond the edge of the letters, and if the rim formed well then the coin would have had to have pressed against the collar and reeds would show.</p><p><br /></p><p>And your examples of spooned coins are poorly made examples where they tried to hurry the process along by hitting the coin harder creating dents rather than a proper spreading of the rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
