Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 488290, member: 112"]That is correct Joe, I never have. But there are a lot of things in this hobby that I have never seen before, even after almost 50 years. But then I am not into errors, never have been, and because of that I don't look for them or at them. To me, an error coin is a damaged coin and I have no interest in damaged coins. I always wanted to collect coins that were the way the mint intended them to be, not the ones they screwed up on. Joe, I am one of those people who questions anybody and everybody, regardless if they are supposed to be an expert or not. In my profession, if I see something that doesn't look right to me and I don't question it - people die. So I question it every single time even though the person or persons I am questioning has 6 to 8 years of university study and several degrees behind them and they ARE experts. And I'll tell ya what, even experts make mistakes and every single time I have ever questioned one I end up being right. But in this case I think Mike is 100% right. The edge of the planchet he pictured is exactly like the edge of the OP's dime. It's as plain as day to me. Just imagine the beveled edge of that planchet that Mike posted having reeding on it and it's a dead ringer. And BTW - I wouldn't trust whatever site you got that pic from anymore. That's an encased  cent pal, not a collar error.[/QUOTE]
