CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2748 Posts	Posted 04/09/2024 12:10 pm I thought this might be a weak strike error but after weighing it I now believe this coin was struck on a slightly thin planchet weighing 5.41g.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2024 4:29 pm Agree, looks like a rolled thin planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 11:22 pm I don't think the modest amount of missing mass can fully account for the weakness of the strike. So it would be a rolled-thin error in combination with an unrelated weak strike. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98440 Posts	Posted 04/11/2024 08:06 am hard to say, but I think not too much over face value. Try an ebay search on similar items that have already sold - that is a good measure of what folks are willing to pay for something. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
