<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3942463, member: 92083&quot;]Full reverse indent (two of them actually). How&#039;d it happen? A second cent planchet was directly on top of this one in the collar when the dies struck. Notice how smooth the surface pattern is. As is common, look how designs from both sides have indirectly transferred into it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1039211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1039212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1039213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1039214[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now look at the full reverse indent on this nickel. Notice the surface pattern appears textured - not smooth like the cents - but it is not a split planchet; it weighs 5.0 grams, the standard weight for a nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1039221[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1039222[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this was caused by the textured, striated side of a split planchet being hammered into the reverse side of this nickel. The label implies it is simply the result of &quot;two coins struck together.&quot; Clearly there is enough room to state it&#039;s a &quot;Full Reverse Indent from a Split Planchet.&quot; It makes a big difference here so I don&#039;t understand why NGC couldn&#039;t get this right and be specific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
