<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2542252, member: 24314&quot;]Now we&#039;re talking. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Color makes it easy to read.&nbsp; Now, if you can add some faces for additional effect... </p><p><br /></p><p>rlm&#039;s cents posted: &quot;Although I have seen numerous planchet problems (mostly wood grain) where the problem is only on one side, they do not have a side view showing the anomaly going completely through the coin.&quot; <span style="color: #0059b3"> Why is that? Are they mostly in slabs?&nbsp; I look at them &quot;raw.&quot; </span>&nbsp; &quot;You say &quot;<span style="color: #00b300">commonly</span> seen as it happens all the time.&quot;&nbsp; I will bet that you cannot show me a single coin with evidence that it goes completely through the coin but can only be seen on one side.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0059b3">Now, &quot;<span style="color: #00b300">commonly</span>&quot; is a word that depends on how many error coins and even coins in general one sees in a specific time period.&nbsp; So, please forgive me as <span style="color: #b30000">I&#039;ll back down on using that word</span> in my response; because it&#039;s a FACT that you or I do not examine as many coins per hour as a typical TPGS employee.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0059b3">You may be stuck in the &quot;Wonderful World of Cents.&quot; Have you ever seen a lamination error where the split goes across the surface, through the rim, and on to the edge? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Still need a photo?</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0059b3">You have twisted my post into nonsense just to BE ABLE to disagree!
