Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 12:07 pm Check this one out, it's the only one like it in the roll. I found it right in the middle of the roll. I have a couple pics showing where it was and the coins on either side of it. It almost seems to me like it was struck on a corroded planchette but I'm no expert. What do you guys think?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74876 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 2:12 pm I have no idea on what happen to your coin. It's very strange that it came from a OBW BU roll of 2018 P LSC's. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 2:43 pm Yea it is very odd. If it were in a circulated roll it would be an easy PMD call Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 2:49 pm I would think something corrosive may have gotten on the planchet while it was in the rinse process and dried up corroding the Lam I also like to hear from others . Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74876 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 2:50 pm It almost looks like some lubricating grease got on the unstruck planchet. Just the only good guess I have. :-) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 4:03 pm I'm almost thinking grease too. Maybe the kind that makes the little spots on uncirculated coins. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 7:39 pm probably a blank planchet that spent some time on the floor, and got a bunch of crud on it,and environmental damage, then someone eventually found it and threw it back in the hopper. Report this Post to the Staff

Employees are not supposed to pick up planchets or coins that are laying on the floor just for the reason that they might get tossed into the wrong place. Anything on the floor gets swept up and sent to the scrap. The planchet had something on it that has corroded the coin. Whether it got on it before or after it was struck I don't know, but it doesn't really matter because it is still a corroded coin. Report this Post to the Staff
