<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 38682, member: 66&quot;]Picture still leaves something to be desired but from what I see it is a genuine error.&nbsp; It is a coin that has been struck with a second planchet partially overlapping it.&nbsp; The coin in the picture was the one in the coining chamber with the obverse die as the anvil die and the revrese die as the hammer die.&nbsp; When it was stuck the blank was inprssed into the coin leaving the depression in it and the rest of the coin was actually struck up by the die.&nbsp; The coin is still round because it was restrained in the collar.&nbsp; If it had been done after striking part of the design would probably still be visible in the &quot;dent&quot;, and most likely the coin would no longer be round.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
