<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1314886, member: 29239&quot;]Like I told you earlier this is either struck on a severe defective planchet or it is a double sided struck thru coin. by struck thru this means that something got between the dies and the planchet then pushed into the coin by the die strike. after looking at the last photos you added it looks like the edge of your coin is pushed in and this probably was caused by whatever was struck into your coin.what I think may have happened is a big piece of the cladding from another coin has landed on the reverse die then when the planchet got forced into the coining chamber the cladding piece got folded over onto the other side of the planchet and the die then struck it into your coin. this would explain where it looks like part of your coins rim is missing in your photo.You sure have a great coin here and thanks for letting everyone see it. we can learn things on the coin forums.</p><p><br /></p><p>I forgot your other question and had to edit to add my answer. I would recommend sending the coin to Mr. Wexler he is the one I always like. his email address is:&nbsp; <a href="mailto:jwex@comcast.net">jwex@comcast.net</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I have known him and he has authenticated coins for me for over 30 years and he has always treated me right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
