<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1130797, member: 8360&quot;]Coinmaster1</p><p>I can think of two legitimate error types that to the untrained eye would look like one side was blank. first is if two blank planchets are allowed into the press on top of each other (rare but it has happened) then one would have the obverse and the other would have the reverse, though both would be somewhat distorted. The second would be that at some point during a run of capped die errors you reach the point where the image of the reverse on the cap gets flattened and the cap hasn&#039;t been worn thin enough to asllow the die image to be transfered through it, causing the coin to be struck with a &quot;blank&quot; image.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess my point is that the description the OP gave is possible and a decision can&#039;t be made without images of the coin in question unless the OP gives more details, including the accurate weight of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
