[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3019508, member: 59677"]So what's going on with this coin? First off, the reverse clearly shows an off-center strike. About 10% [ATTACH=full]750402[/ATTACH] But there's something weird going on with that break in the copper plating from between the E and C up to MER. What does the obverse look like? [ATTACH=full]750403[/ATTACH] There is evidence of another planchet obliterating part of the strike. Is there evidence of letters from another reverse around K2? Need a better photo (stack) to be sure... What year? Well, we can be sure it was 1982 or newer because it's a Zlincon. We also can be sure it was no later than 1986. How? That's the cool slab, used only in 1986: [ATTACH=full]750407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]750406[/ATTACH] The CONECA rep at the ANA show looked at it, but decided it made his head hurt too much to think about! $30[/QUOTE]
