kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 09:28 am I'm going to suggest a different beginning. When new dies are being inserted into a coin press there has to be a certain amount of setup adjustments. Basically tests to see if the setup is correct. I suggest that your coin was created early in that process. Either the spacing between the dies wasn't close enough OR the pressure wasn't enough. How it made it into circulation is another story!? Whatever, it's a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75330 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 10:07 am It was Struck Through Grease. Not an Adjustment Strike. If it was, then the rim would be weak. Still a great find! A keeper. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
