<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2611602, member: 77639"]I'm firmly in the dunno camp at present. However, if it was done deliberately, it could have been done a fairly low risk manner depending on inside access to planchets and knowledge of where newly minted batches were going. It would be a matter of switching planchets that are about to go to the press or perhaps inserting a buffalo planchet in the eagle planchets without a switch. Then the perpetrator(s) would have to know where the newly minted batches were headed. The beauty of the scheme is that there would be no need to smuggle the error coin(s) out; it (or they) would go out the normal route. The biggest risk is getting caught doing the planchet switch (or addition), but it may be possible to do it in a way that makes the perp simply look careless or dumb rather than crooked. Second biggest risk would be the error coin(s) not going where they thought they would.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
