<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 20134729, member: 24314&quot;]BurrosCoins, asked: &quot;Since this is considered a planchet flaw, is this error considered produced at the time of the milling process of the planchet?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><i><span style="color: #b30000">YES.</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I.E., a flaw caused by some foreign object being rolled in during the milling process of the planchet which caused a depression.&nbsp; Which is then just passed on during the pressing with the die because the die couldn’t reach to the bottom of the depression.&nbsp; If not, how would this type of planchet flaw be produced and at what part of the minting process?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>To quote Bill Fivaz, &quot;I wasn&#039;t there when it happened.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; The inside of the flaw is virgin planchet surface with no evidence of any impurity.&nbsp; The elongated shape suggests that a void was formed during the rolling or drawing stage when the strip was being &quot;worked.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; This mark is called a planchet defect or planchet flaw. While it is a minor Mint error, in this case it is a distraction and lowers the value of the coin and possibly even its commercial grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post another quiz tomorrow or the next day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
