<p>[QUOTE="Yokozuna, post: 946027, member: 26087"]Yes, I'm sure your're correct! The roll had a progression of 8 coins with some kind of grease and metal shavings glob <u>on the die</u>. As the coins were struck it flattened out and, I would guess, fell off or was removed. I only had money to buy 2 of the coins, but you could see the same error with the same basic shape with the same characteristics at the same position on each of the 8 coins and like I said each strike made the area wider and not as deep. WHEN I find the slabbed coin I will post it. It is easy to see that the spot was getting larger with each strike. I have no doubt that all 8 coins were struck with the same debris stuck to the die. The dealer had several rolls that he ordered at the same time, but only 8 had the errors in one roll and each one showed a larger area but not as deep. You could even see the same lines that looked as if they could have been metal shavings trapped in some kind of grease, gum or some kind of binding agent. The first strike was half the size in area on the coin. It just touched the bottom of the "Y", but was deeper. I wish I had them all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p> </p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
