The suggestion from the other site was this.... verbatim.
"It looks like an indent. caused by another planchet landing on top of the coin as it was being struck the second time(proofs are struck twice). RARE! you might have been better off leaving it in the holder, it'd slab easier. error roookies at gradiing services might have problems with it. clipped proofs are rare too."

Awesome error. It's an in-collar double-strike with an indent on the second strike. Either there was no movement of the coin between strikes, or the extra high pressure of the proof strike obliterated any evidence of multiple strikes. I've seen plenty of business strikes with errors like this, but this is the first proof of this kind I've encountered.

Is there a procedure that I need to follow as far as sending this too Mike or coneca to get it confirmed before sending it to PCGS?

Well the good news is Ken Potter as also seen it and agrees with Mike Diamond. An it's off to PCGS in the AM, I was thinking NGC as there holder is a better fit for showing the mint error. But I an still not sure any advice?

"A guy on a different site thinks the indent was form the second strike almost like a new plancett was on the edge. The indent is deeper than any of the field and I have never seen anything like it."
yes, and not a clip of any kind.
Imagine what the other coin looked like!

I spoke with K Potter on Sunday. He is feeling better for the folks out there that have met him or know him. I will be seeing him at the Chicago ANA and will be have this one with me. NGC slabbed the coin as just a strike though and I was told it's common. I do not agree on the common part! And and Indent is a strike though of sorts, but not the same by any other way other than the fact that something other then the die hit the blank. |
