<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2973966, member: 69760&quot;]OK, this comes from NGC&#039;s research director and NGC&#039;s Mint Error attributor (David Camire) - they&#039;re either <i>struck on</i> a &quot;type 1 blank&quot; or a &quot;type 2 blank&quot;, as defined below. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen this type of error on a slab before and it may be among the most uncommon (or mis-attributed) types of errors - that&#039;s speculation of course.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>First is a <u>Type 1 Blank</u>. It has only gone through the gang punch and will show the cut and tear marks and is &quot;dirty&quot; and unnealed </i>[sic]<i>.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Second is a <u>Type 2 Blank</u>. Continuing on, the blank has been deburred (commonly called burnished but technically this is not correct as there is no median present), annealed, then cleaned and dried.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
