<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 850644, member: 19884&quot;]I think that if it was a dryer coin, the rims would be more worn.&nbsp; I can&#039;t get the photos to pull up very large, but it looks like the metal of the main coin area is way thinner than the rim edges.&nbsp; Its almost like the metal used for the planchet was way too thin.&nbsp; It&#039;s be interesting to put a micrometer on it and compare the thickness of the coin and the rims to a regular coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wonder if it&#039;s possible to have a type of error where the metal sheet which should be used for dimes is accidently put in with the quarter&#039;s manufacturing process and cut into quarter sized planchets.&nbsp; It&#039;d be interesting to see if it is as thin as a dime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The contact marks could have come from anything...rolling machines, counting machines, etc.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
