It was widely reported in forums and blogs on the coin discussion sites. The Mint had a lot of technical difficulty with the new presses they were using, and after a while the creasing seems to have diminished in these 5 oz coins production now. I do not believe I have ever seen it attributed as an error, yet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>With the &quot;P&quot; 5 oz ATB coins there are &#039;<a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2298" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=2298" rel="nofollow">light finish</a>&#039; varieties, which is something to do with the vapor blast finishing on some of the coins, giving them a slightly different appearance. NGC for one does verify coins with this variety noted on their labels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
