<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 123064, member: 1859&quot;]Coin metal conforms to the recesses of the die face.&nbsp; Both surfaces of a thin wafer of metal will conform to the nearest recess (in this case the reverse face) when another planchet is stacked on top of it.&nbsp; In other words, the entire disc will deform, with the upper surface sinking down into the recess, forming the incuse image of the Memorial you see on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>These errors are surprisingly common and usually sell for between $10 and $20 on eBay.&nbsp; I&#039;ve sold several and have never gotten more than this.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s nothing on the CONECA website specifically about this error type.&nbsp; It&#039;s a combination error (split planchet and in-collar uniface strike), and most glossaries and references deal with only simple errors.&nbsp; In this case it would probably be covered under the &quot;split planchet&quot; category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
