FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 702 Posts	Posted Today 16H 18M ago I was going thru a bunch of coins I found metal detecting and found this DDO. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...20Photos,-IN Ground finds are not usually in the very good condition but after conservation I don't think it looks too bad. It's also appears to be struck on a tapered planchet? The odd thing is it still weighs 3.12g. Would have thought it would be underweight?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77133 Posts	Posted Today 16H 1M ago Great metal detecting find! Looks great after conservation. I believe that a true Tapered Planchet error has to be underweight and the coin has to have a good amount of weakness. https://www.error-ref.com/tapered-planchets/ Errers and Varietys.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6752 Posts	Posted Today 8H 54M ago Maybe a tilted strike? It does appear to have a Rim Fin on the obverse left. Neat find, especially from the ground! =) Report this Post to the Staff
