<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3969234, member: 84595"]I don't believe the OPs coin was spooned. If I was analyzing this coin for any type of error, I would weigh it, determine the diameter with an electronic micrometer, look for striations from the punch press which would go in one direction when the planchets are made, and look for any machining and tooling. I have a friend who makes rings and like Jersey Magic Man said It doesn't have the characteristics of being a spooned coin. I am leaning for it being finely machined which is why I would like to see the diameter. We older collectors have seen some fine tooling and engraving on old love tokens and jewelry. Keep collecting coins and have a Happy New Year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
