coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2013 03:18 am Looks like a struck through error. Not how wide the disappearing devices look. They are wide because the die was partly filled in that area on the "B" Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 05:28 am Coop, Would the rim be flattened like that if it's a struck-through grease? Could it be a tapered planchet? Just wondering,thanks. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 11:25 am On a tapered planchet the thickness of the coin is reduced from being rolled thin, but it is usually on one area of the coin. I see weakness on 3:00 and 9:00 on both sides? There appears to be a lot of missing letters on the reverse. If it were a tapered planchet, it would lower in weight than a normal coin. If the weight is normal then it would be a struck through error (grease) or low pressure strike (mild). I would hang onto this one for now. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 2:35 pm I guess I missed one John. The rims should be strong. Here is one I've posted many times that show the rim areas very nicely.
