<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2197366, member: 15062"]That's a good point and probably true. So I'll propose another way it could have been done deliberately in the Mint (it is well known that mint employees must be pretty bored and without direct supervision because they make all kinds of deliberate "errors"). The OP's coin is an obverse so let's say the mint employee put a blank slightly smaller than a quarter over the anvil die, then a quarter planchet over that and then stamped the pair. The excess diameter of the quarter would squeeze past the lower, smaller disc and would produce a quarter with a full rim, a full obverse and a blank reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this scenario seems implausable then I'd be interested to hear why so, and if the PMD train is still running, how it was made, giving supportive evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
