<p>[QUOTE="boston, post: 127126, member: 2611"]Just added this to the collection. I'm not sure if it's an off center or planchet error. A 1988 is on top of the 1999 coin in one picture this thread is about. As you can see, the coin is round and larger. It is also much thinner than a normal nickel. The thickness is even across the coin and the diameter is very close to round (normal roll).</p><p>The weight is correct by crude balance comparison.</p><p>It also has a real nice die crack from the left (9 o'clock) to the first column of the Monticello building.</p><p>Has 6 full steps too! Light nicks, but no cuts or bridges.</p><p>Maybe Mike Diamond has a view about this one. I thought about his recent article on "upset planchets".</p><p><br /></p><p>I have some off center strike coins, but this has different attributes that I don't yet recognize. Any input is welcome. Thanks. Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="boston, post: 127126, member: 2611"]Just added this to the collection. I'm not sure if it's an off center or planchet error.

The thickness is even across the coin and the diameter is very close to round (normal roll). The weight is correct by crude balance comparison. It also has a real nice die crack from the left (9 o'clock) to the first column of the Monticello building. Has 6 full steps too! Light nicks, but no cuts or bridges. Maybe Mike Diamond has a view about this one. I thought about his recent article on "upset planchets". I have some off center strike coins, but this has different attributes that I don't yet recognize. Any input is welcome. Thanks. Bob[/QUOTE]
