twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 1:56 pm OK this coin came out of a dealer friends box that has been sitting for well over 20 years. My first thought was it had to be a press job. But here is my problem with this thought. The coin has a full reeding on the collar. The coin is OUT of Round on both sides The coin has metal flow lines that transect the indent line The coins devices are not pressed in on the division line and have the same depth of strike. This is "ONE STRANGE PUPPY" Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 5:05 pm This is a "Texas coin". The coin was flattened between two relatively giving surfaces, causing proportional expansion of the design on each face Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 6:49 pm Mike I had the same thought, but the coin is out of round in the center and the indent line is at around 30% of the viewer left side. The rim has full reeding around the coin except right where the indent line is. This is one of the problems I have with it. If you press a coin it will have a lose of detail and in this coin all of the metal flow lines remain with no detail lost. Report this Post to the Staff
