<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4567228, member: 84179"]I'm not sure how the person in your link estimated that approx 24 examples exist, but that sounds like a reasonable number for a transitional planchet error.

If there are 24 struck on silver planchets, that 1 out of 75 million. The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 292 million. So I guess rascal is right, 1 in 75,000,000 is much more reasonable than lotto odds. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=98961]@Virginia Neering[/USER] weigh it on a good scale and you'll know for sure.
