<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 282602, member: 9866"]Nope, not a blank planchet. If it were, it would be entirely blank, and have the appearance of a slug. Also, as far as I know, there are no errors with one full design and one smooth edge, with the exception after-strike lamination peels, and struck through cloth or other large objects. If it was either of those, the reverse would probably be grainy for the former, or feel like a cloth if it were the latter, and not smooth. My guess is it was either ground off because someone was bored, or hollowed out to make a secret compartment. That was done to numerous 1940's Lincoln cents, and sometimes the reverse of the secret compartment will fall away, making the coin appear as if it's an error.</p><p> </p><p>Of course, as I always tell everyone, I am far from an expert, so please don't take my word as fact. I just try to help where I can![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
