<p>[QUOTE="doctorzee, post: 505183, member: 1968"]Frank, don't sound so defensive. You are no doubt correct (in my opinion also). I think it is a) defective planchet (light - insufficient Ag to strike up) (however, since I have 2, probably not), or a test strike (light). Its interesting, though, just how "struck up" the rest of the coin is for a "light" strike. Seems like most of it should be light. UNLESS the planchet is concave both sides going in, thereby striking all but the center up first, and only flowing metal into the center under proper pressure. Being from Denver, and being Pres of a local Coin Club, we often have a Denver Mint person come to speak. I'll ask (and report to y'all) when I find out.</p><p> </p><p>Regarding price, no doubt it's worth about $11.50 anyway.
