CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted Today 5H 16M ago Heritage Auctions - The accompanying envelope states that this piece was "Struck on a thick, concave planchet," and it has exactly that appearance. The proper description assigned by NGC suggests that this coin, after it was struck, somehow made its way back to the planchet preparation stage when the round metal discs became planchets as they passed through the upsetting mill. That machine essentially gave each disk its raised rim and standard diameter, as it was converted from a "Type One" blank to a "Type Two" planchet. This pleasing piece, while graded a mere MS61, has extraordinary natural color with a few grade-limiting hairlines. Check out Morgan Dollars on ebay Provenance "Colonel" E.H.R.
