FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 704 Posts	Posted Today 18H 26M ago I was going thru a bunch of coins I found metal detecting and found this DDO. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...20Photos,-IN Ground finds are not usually in the very good condition but after conservation I don't think it looks too bad. It's also appears to be struck on a tapered planchet? The odd thing is it still weighs 3.12g. Would have thought it would be underweight?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 77136 Posts	Posted Today 18H 9M ago Great metal detecting find! Looks great after conservation. I believe that a true Tapered Planchet error has to be underweight and the coin has to have a good amount of weakness. https://www.error-ref.com/tapered-planchets/ Errers and Varietys.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6752 Posts	Posted Today 11H 2M ago Maybe a tilted strike? It does appear to have a Rim Fin on the obverse left. Neat find, especially from the ground! =) Report this Post to the Staff
