coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 04:02 am PMD. On a trial strike (really a Low Pressure Strike) you would see the rims like planchet would have. This one has been sanded to death. (Another image from the New DVD) Report this Post to the Staff
7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 04:16 am I don't see why somebody would sand down a coin. What about reeding? I read a Coin World article by Mike Diamond with photos that looked similar to my coin. Report this Post to the Staff

7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 07:07 am I think this has a misaligned obverse die. I would like to send it to someone that specializes in these coins. I am 100% certain it is an error. Mike Diamond sounds like the guy that will know about this. there are no sanding lines on the coin. there are a few scuffs and some minor wear from circulation. http://www.coinworld.com/Articles/V...aled-by-weak The magazine has pictures of the reeding that don't show up online.

7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 4:19 pm Thanks Mike, I will destroy this coin so no other collectors end up with it thinking the same thing I did. Kris Report this Post to the Staff
7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 6:12 pm I will hold onto this coin too, I don't see any sanding lines. If I was to find out someday in the future that this actually was an error and I destroyed it I would be very upset with myself. Report this Post to the Staff
