[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1447098, member: 29239"]From looking at your photos I think it may be possible for you to have a good error coin here. I know photos can make a coin look different but from what I can see the blank side looks to have a slight cup or bowl shape. if this is the way this coin really is then it has not been ground off. it would have been possible for this coin to have been struck and remained stuck to the reverse die then another blank planchet entered the coining chamber and got struck into the already struck obverse side of your coin and wiped away all of the coins obv. design. If someone did grind off this much metal with a grinder it definitely would have removed at least a whole gram of weight off it . edit: just thought of another possibility . maybe your cent coin was struck thru a early stage die cap.[/QUOTE]
