[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 24901187, member: 36248"]Several members have mentioned the tapered planchet and the weight test. I don't understand this as a reason / proof its an error coin, let me explain. If I have a coin with a Tapered Planchet from the mint, the coin is underweight lets say a few grams. If I take a perfect coin, and drag it on the pavement outside a bank, causing metal loss, the coin is now underweight a few grams. How is being a few grams underweight proof it was not PMD? Please explain, as I honestly don't know much about error coins.[/QUOTE]
