<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 105612, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>You can also ask a local pharmacist to weigh it.&nbsp; They have scales that are extremely accurate. As lawdogct said, I am not trying to burst any bubbles.&nbsp; It may be that the coin is missing a layer. I think that is highly unlikely based on my experience.&nbsp; As I was starting out in collecting blah, blah , blah years ago <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The one line that sticks in my head more clearly than ever was the line from a knowledgable dealer when I showed him my &quot;unusual&quot; coins.&nbsp; &quot;Well&quot;, he said, &quot;No World Cruise This Time&quot; !&nbsp; It was hard for me to totally accept what I was being told as I was always hoping to find a &quot;million dollar wonder&quot; as I like to call them. </p><p>Since then, I&#039;ve learned a lot and I now see very few errors or varieties that I can not recognize. </p><p>When a coin looks unusual, there can be a number of reasons as to the cause. As stated before, a better picture of both sides of the coin and the weight of this coin will tell us all we need to know to have a better idea as to whether or not this coin is missing a layer.</p><p><br /></p><p>While it is not impossible for this coin to be missing a clad layer (before the strike), there is usually some weakness of strike, often on the word LIBERTY since the thickness of the planchet is not the same, all the detail doesn&#039;t strike up as nicely as on a full thickness planchet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Certain signs just cause me to lean away from the missing clad layer scenario.</p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill</p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
