That's what happens when you roll them under great radial pressure. Try it yourself with a common coin, and you will see that the metal has to go somewhere! Same sort of thing thing happens with Dryer Coins.

Nancyc... Hello Nancy =D I hope you can hear me :) I took DVCollector's advice and weighed it "i finally borrowed some scales", it came up as 1.5g and I weighed it against other 20c they came up as 1.3g I did it over and over with different 20c coins encase scales were faulty and it came up the same every time. Should I start to get excited?

20c coins should weigh 11.3 grams so your scales are wayyyyyyy off. Incase you meant to type 11.5 and 11.3 grams then 0.2 grams really isn't much of a difference. Coins are often slightly overweight and yours has some extra crud on it which would add even more weight. I actually dont know why it was suggested to weigh this coin. I dont know what that would be evidence of in this situation

I reckon it is PMD and someone paid about $139.80 too much. Thats just my opinion though.

they might of done, but it could be worth more who knows as its a one off coin and people are obviously willing to pay for something that know one else has ? all I know is I am very happy =D

It will be interesting to see what the buyer has to say when they receive it.
