<p>[QUOTE="GrizzlyGold, post: 1732206, member: 55226"]OK, I appreciate the responses so far. Does anyone have an example of this type of error that is authentic to compare to? One that would show a blank obverse WITH raised rims? Again, there is a bit of a rim on the left side of the blank obverse. Yes, a blank planchet would have raised rims, BUT, when two planchets get stuck together and smashed in a space that was meant for one planchet, do you get a coin that is blank on one side AND has rims, or is it possible the extra material being forced into the same space results in an error coin such as this, slightly oblong with flattened rims. OR, to answer my question, HOW could you get this result outside of the mint without ANY remnants of design on the obverse, ghosting on the reverse, and no signs of vices or grinding? Inquiring minds would like to know. I'm not entirely convinced one way or the other. If this is PMD, I'd like to know beyond a shadow of a doubt and not have lingering questions as these. And if it is authentic, I want to completely rule out it being PMD, which so far is not the case. Thanks so much for any and all input!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
