It looks like it might be a Spooned coin, but I'm not completely sure on it.
Errers and Varietys.

It's either spooned or an early stage Dryer Coin but whichever, there is no premium, just PMD. |

Might be a high pressure strike. John1  |

F it were a high pressure strike, the coin would have been flatter. The stock material is not the issue. The rim is thicker because the outside rim is reduced. A Dryer Coin is the usual cause. Not hit hard enough to remove the plating. PSD. Not a mint error. |

99 out of 100 I agree with you coop but after looking at the link to those Dryer Coins I am in doubt that's what this is. It's too uniform. It doesn't show signs of being exposed to heat or being banged or rolled around in between metal drums. It does look like it but it's too smooth and perfect. Unless it just got stuck in the perfect place and just long enough to take that shape. That's just my humble opinion. What about the wrong planchet for a different coin? Edited by Waynoah83

Can't be a wrong planchet, the coin is smaller. If it was a smaller wrong planchet, the weight would not be the same and the rims would be flattened by the force of the strike. Still sticking to my original post of an early stage Dryer Coin or possibly spooned. |

I think PMD. Not a mint error IMO. |

Early stage Dryer Coin, diameter is reduced, edge is wider and slightly rounded. If it was just a high pressure strike the edge would be sharp and square the the diameter would be full. And extra thick planchet would also be full diameter and would probably show the same sharp square edge as a high pressure strike (thick planchet causes a higher pressure strike) |

Now that I came back to this thread and looked again I have to agree with Conder. Early stage Dryer Coin IMO. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |
