A missing reverse rim can also be caused by a double planchet load into the press, resulting in two coins each missing one side. Usually in such a case both coins will have excellent strikes because of the increased thickness. The rims in the center can be pressed flat. There is often some ghosting on the blank side which may or may not be what is seen in the blurry image. The lack of reeding may be a problem or this may be the top coin in the stack, struck above the reeding collar. Without better images none of us can be sure what we are seeing. Weights and measures would be a real help too. The coin looks a little too normal to be what I have described.

I don't want to seem rude since how I'm new here. But as far as a one sided plachet being made goes I've got a friend whom used to work in the mint who says this is more possible and happens alot more than speculated. I believe the gentlemen with the idea of two blanks loading and each one gets pressed together die on outter sides while centers stay blank is more what I've been told does happen to most. Not nessacarily will it infuse the coins. But is a good strike and it is flat n blank on other side. Thank u for your time. Oh as far as clapping with one hand is more possible than u realize as well.. Use your minds. Anything is possible. It's just a matter of numbers before y he probability is accurate but anything is possible.

I'm in the camp of a start to a coin ring, the reeded edge taken off, the back milled smooth for comfort on the finger, then take it from there, which was never finished. generally speaking it would have to be struck out of collar for it not to have any sign of the reeded edge, if that happened, it would be smooshed and misshapen, the mint uses about 54 tons of pressure to strike a coin. the metal moves outward without something to retain it the face side in my opinion, couldn't look like that the edges would be stretched. and the strike would be weak. A partial collar strike is oblonged and not circular for instance. even two stacked on top of each other the bottom one will have full reeding on the edge, the other will have partial reeding on the edge and a smashed out edge lip, like a shelf or ledge on the edge. Any way I try to figure how this could happen from the mint doesn't' get to this visual result. I'm going with reverse and edge tooled off by someone, I think to make a coin ring that never got completed, possibly the start of an unfinished Magicians coin. Just my opinion, but I think the only possibility to get this visual result is Post Strike Damage. Edited by Big-Kingdom

This coin I'm posting has been in family for over 40 years The obverse you show is from 1999 or later, there is a different obverse prior to that year. Looks like somebody ground off one side of the coin and polished it. People sometimes get bored and do crazy things, I have seen several in change over the years. |

Dconway90 Welcome to CCF!
On future post, make sure you start a new topic for each of your coins. That way it won't get lost in replies for the original and other members will not be confused as to which coin is being discussed.
Your coin has been sanded or smoothed. If you look close you will see thousands of tiny lines where the surface was removed these line with only be on the smoothed side. If you weigh your coin it should also come in under weight.

Divinecoins welcome to you, too! On future post, make sure you start a new topic for each of your coins. We now have several one sided coins in this topic and it's getting kind of hard to follow. People modify coins all the time. Some are for modified for a purpose and some just because someone is bored. Thousands of " Buffalo nickels" have been carved over the years and many artist are carving new "Hobo" coins today. I have an 1847 Large Cent that was set in the top of a pocket watch. The reverse is smooth and the diameter is slightly reduced. The watch died and I removed the coin. It's been in my collection for 25 years, but I know it's worthless. I'd hate to have someone find my coin and think it was an error, but it could happen. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!
