John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 7:47 pm I am saying it is probably a MAD and something else. Coop or Mike would know for sure what is going on with it. Weight might help, and I was wondering if an edge shot in the area in question would be helpful? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 8:13 pm Quote: As far as the edge goes it seems normal.. not exactly sure what to be looking for. here is another picture comparing it to another normal one. n00bdude, Nice images of the obverse rim and or false rim. Didn't think about this earlier. The edge is the outside of coins perimeter. The reeds come from the collar. Does it show normal all the way around? Report this Post to the Staff
n00bdude New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 9:22 pm Now that I'm home from work I have time to take more photos. Still going to be some time before I get a scale, can anyone recommend a fairly inexpensive unit? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 07:06 am As far as scales go,what price point are you in? A 0.01 scale will be the cheapest,0.001 will be better but cost more. If you plan on staying in the hobby,go for the 0.001 model. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 10:12 pm All I see is a minor horizontal misalignment of the obverse (hammer) die. Weakness here and there in the peripheral design could be due to "grease" or a slightly weak strike. Again, it's too trivial to carry much interest. Error coin writer and researcher.
