My guess is it has something to do with a plating issue. Mike had a column recently in Coin World discussing some plating issues related to split plating doubling on zincolns caused by the strike. My guess is this is a form of that issue. I'll watch for Mike's response also.

I think I saw something similar and Mike called it an odd type of Machine Doubling...I just can't find the thread.

Just google "Mike Diamond coin" and you'll get info on him

Ahh THAT Mike Diamond haha .. I remember seeing his name around now , and reading a few things he had posted (from others sharing the links) ..

That was my thought , a form of Machine Doubling .. But , just cant figure out for the life of me how it would happen exactly lol .. I'm sure it is what it is , but would like to see what he may think or even Coop or coppercoins on here (two other guys that have helped me alot on here )...

thanks again for your time guys .

maybe the inner edge was turned down on a lathe and then as the groove was catching the bit it slowly tourned the outer edge, as the edge looks kind od deep. or some aliens did it.. I'm outta ideas

I found the thread and it was on another forum so I won't post a link (unless it's allowed)

but here is where he wrote it up after several different attempts at diagnosing it :
The article is now out in Coin World (24 May 2010) in the Collector's Clearinghouse column (page 90).

This is a rare form of Machine Doubling called "one-sided, rim-restricted design duplication". The obverse (hammer) die bounces up, shifts to one side, and lands lightly on the design rim.

Here's more information:

So, one could say that this is a "collectible" form of Machine Doubling?

I'd certainly say so....but then again, I collect extreme regular Machine Doubling too.

Quite collectable. I paid anywhere from $50 - $75 when I was collecting examples in an effort to figure out what kind of error this was. I'd still buy a coin like this for $25.
