coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 02:38 am If it were PSD, the obverse would be disturbed. It would be pushed out where the opposite side was cut deep into the planchet. We see nothing like that on that side. So it had to happen before it was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 03/29/2014 08:59 am A bristle from a rotating descaling brush was rolled into the coin metal strip. It may have been rolled in after the strip left the bonding mill, or it might have been trapped between the core strip and one clad strip as the two entered the bonding mill. In any case, the piece of "wire" split the clad layer. The wire fell out before rolling of the composite strip was completed, and so the groove was partially closed up.

Knowing its an error is one thing but explaining how it happened puts things in prospective for all of us. Thanks mikediamond for your explanation. Its pretty hard to learn if you dont know how it could have happened. End of story Thanks everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

After it left the mint ... more "might" have happen to it. If I had to make a life or death choice it is an error coin. IMHO it is worthy of an ERROR collectors Quarter collection. Errors are the opposite of MS101. I LOVE IKES ... I LOVE ERRORS Report this Post to the Staff
