Is the weight within mint specs?

Oops, forgot to post that. 5.06g, so 101% nominal. Completely within specs.

This is the closest thing I have found so far, maybe yours not being as extreme.

That's an odd one. A tapered planchet error should be underweight. A tilted die error should show finning at the compressed pole and weakness at the opposite pole. I would welcome the chance to study it up close.

As a guess I'd say its showing early stages of uneven spooning.
