<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 587564, member: 16948&quot;]I just posted this same question on the PCGS forum, but thought I&#039;d get comments from this forum as well.&nbsp; I am very interested to know your thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this coin many years ago and thought it was interesting so I decided to keep it for my private collection, thinking that it was probably hand or machine tooled by someone with too much time on their hands. I have some other interesting pieces, including a beautiful MS64 RB 1886 Indian cent with a nice clamshell rim, and an MS64 1861 with a large clipped planchet so, recently, I decided to have some of my private coins photographed by Todd/blucc (<a href="http://www.bluccphotos.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bluccphotos.com" rel="nofollow">www.bluccphotos.com</a>), including this neat 1865-L. Any way, Todd happened to show this coin to another forum friend who suggested it might have been minted from a foreign planchet. I don&#039;t know much about foreign planchet errors, so I thought I&#039;d post this coin here for your comments. One of the photos has a regular Indian cent next to it for comparison. I also plan to bring it to Long Beach to show to a couple dealers who may have some knowledge as well. So please let me know what you think![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
