Lonz Valued Member 494 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 9:54 pm I've had this for some time, but just rediscovered it in my stuff. It's a zinc planchet with a weight of 2.6 What would be the proper term to describe this error? Off center? Thanks in advance! ...also -grade and possible value.... Report this Post to the Staff

Lonz Valued Member 494 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 09:51 am No design from what I can see close up - and Yes, the outcrop is extremely thin. Thoughts about grade/value? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 12:13 pm off-center with indent. It was struck off-center and there was another planchet in the coining chamber. So this piece was struck between the hammer die and a planchet instead of between the hammer and anvil dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Lonz Valued Member 494 Posts	Posted 09/08/2012 3:38 pm Awesome! Thanks - did a quick ebay search for those terms to find the approximate value to be from $3 - $8 Report this Post to the Staff
