<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2606961, member: 112&quot;]When the planchet is too thin (defective) in one spot, when the coin is struck, there isn&#039;t enough metal there to fill the recesses in the die in that specific area. That results with what you see in this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you can also tell that&#039;s what the cause was because of the way the rim dives down into the thin area on each side of that thin area. And this is apparent on both the obv and rev of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said above, if you took the coin out of that holder and took a picture of the edge in the affected area, you would see that the edge is very thin right there. And it would taper down from both the left and the right to the thinnest spot in the middle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
