biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 1:29 pm That is a nice sized indent strike error, caused by another planchet overlapping that one when it was struck. Somewhere out there is an undated ~75% off-center obverse with a uniface reverse that would match up perfectly to your indent. Value would be ~$10 or so. Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 1:32 pm Two planchets were feed into the coining chamber at the same time. The above coin was positioned correctly with the other planchet partially covering it. It is called an indent error. Notice the strong strike with the finned rim on the reverse opposite the indent.

Pyrbob, Quote: Notice the strong strike with the finned rim on the reverse opposite the indent. I didn't even see this. Would this be considered the Blakesley Effect? Biokemist, wouldn"t it be great to find its twin! Edited by bpoc1 11/27/2012 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/27/2012 2:14 pm No, the Blakesley Effect only affects the rim on some clipped coins. Report this Post to the Staff
