[QUOTE="ziggy9, post: 1233976, member: 8360"]sorry to tell you but this is not a genuine error. There are a couple of things that are missing in order for it to happen according to your theory. 1. the blanks first had to go through the upsetting mill, which would have separated the coins had they been stuck together. 2.Had they somehow made it through the mill still stuck together the extra thickness would have caused the strike on this coin to be incredibly crisp but with extra high edges, niether of which are present. 3. in the extremely rare cases where two planchets enter the chamber and are struck together the result is a coin that has either an obverse or a reverse, but the "blank" side shows distortion from the extreme pressure applied to it. yours does not. Your coin has been ground down and polished. Richard[/QUOTE]
