fragsmax New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 11:29 pm Hi All! I just found this beauty and felt the need to share it. It's an uncirculated 1959-P Tapered Planchet error from an OBW. Let me know if I shouldn't be uploading pics like this & I will refrain from doing so in the future. Just had to share it with someone... Report this Post to the Staff

fragsmax New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 9:43 pm Thank you everyone for the support! biokemist6 -- My scale just isn't sensitive enough to give me accurate readings but my best guess is that it is somewhere between 2.5 & 3. Kitchen food scale; close but no cookie ;-) I always thought that a tapered Planchet would weigh the same & just have the distribution uneven. I was surprised to a weight difference.
