coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 12:49 pm The center of the planchet is the thickest. The metal moves towards the rim when struck. Thus the edge/rim area can be different thicknesses but the center of the coin is reduced. I've seen years in the late 1990'S that showed a thicker rim, but were normal weight.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 2:15 pm I have seen a number of these "long bevel" planchets, on both cents and nickels. Weights are within normal range, so it's unlikely these represent foreign planchets. It's possible we're looking at domestic planchets sent through an upset mill whose grooves were designed for a foreign planchet. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 11:09 pm Wow. That's a good spot from the pic. I put it back under the photo light and still really can just barely sort of make out the one bit of clash closest to the face. The rest is not visible under a loop however I try. Seems there is a clash but just really hard to pick up other than that exact lighting I used for the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
