Personally, I don't think it is.

Can you supply the weight to two decimal points, that might help.

An edge shot would be nice, too.

It is not an error - it is a type I blank for dimes, It had not yet gone through the upsetting mill to get a proto rim (which would then be a type II planchet) in my opinion.

Is it "clad" on both sides or only 1 side?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I'm with Dearborn on this one. Slightly low weight, but well within tolerance. Unstruck. No rim.

All the off-topic cra p has been removed. Play nice or find yourselves on the outside looking in from the cold. Carry on.  |

Why would a blank planchet be called an error?

Who would certify a blank? I'm a little surprised that PCGS would call that an error. There is nothing wrong with the blank, it just hasn't been through the upset mill to become a planchet, and is obviously not struck as a coin (yet).

It's called an error because it wasn't struck and wasn't supposed to be released by the mint.

The Mint gave away huge numbers of cent planchets as tour souvenirs. Is it certain that they never gave away other denomination planchets or blanks?
