I have seen 2 others on this site already. Could anyone else give me answers. Report this Post to the Staff

aaustin84 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 07:15 am That's what I had read on the this site before about acid. But there is distinct rounding on the pressed metal on the reverse side. I did some research last night and acid damage would make it more jagged . I found a sight listing a ton of error split planchet types. And as far as I can tell it look as it is a clipped small center planchet. But I could be wrong I don't have a good camera to take a photo that close.to show the rounding on the reverse side . Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 05/21/2014 07:52 am Has to be damage, most likely acid that ate away the copper. Dime planchets are punched from a large strip of already clad metal. There is no way to punch out a planchet that has a smaller diameter of copper in the center. It would be like using a cookie cutter to cut out the center of a ham sandwich, but make the ham smaller in diameter than the bread. I have never heard of a "clipped small center planchet", what does that mean, and what web site did you get that from? Dave Report this Post to the Staff

So I don't know Report this Post to the Staff
