<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 24892766, member: 73995&quot;]Here it is, quite a bit more circulated, and not photogenic. When I found the coin I thought the same as you that it would weigh less and could be a rough planchet that either didn&#039;t strike up well or was light and could be a tapered planchet. This one tedders between 11.29 and 11.3g on the scale.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1599132[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1599133[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here is Error ref page on tapered planchets.</p><p><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/?s=tapered+planchet" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/?s=tapered+planchet" rel="nofollow">https://www.error-ref.com/?s=tapered+planchet</a></p><p>Also I spent a bit of time looking for a tapered planchet error on a Kennedy half and couldn&#039;t find one. I then looked to see what a weak strike (Blakesley effect) looks like on a clipped planchet. I have yet to find with that kind of roughness. Then I went to see what the surfaces of a type 2 blank look like, and none have that roughness. And there are plenty out there with heavily striated surfaces. But nothing that rough. I want to add in a third point. Also, a proto rim from the upset machine cannot form on one side of the planchet and not on the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
