<p>[QUOTE=&quot;d.t.menace, post: 1676679, member: 18944&quot;]There would have to have been too many unusual occurances for this to be a mint error. First, note the metal pushed out beyond the perimeter of the coin in the area circled on the right. This would mean a partial collar or broken collar. Second, the die would have to have had a piece of something stuck on it&#039;s perimiter to cause the impression in the circle on the left. Third, the so-called piece of metal struck into it has a well defined shape that is even on both sides.</p><p>I would be more inclined to believe that whatever was used to smoosh the coin had a void in it that matches that shape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
