NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 10:08 am That's all I am - I couldn't tell if it is or not but I wouldn't collect it as an error even if I was interested by them, it's so 'suss' looking. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 6:12 pm Does the minting process ever produce coins like this in its normal (faulty) operations? Report this Post to the Staff
Firecom911 Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 8:20 pm Bad planchet? I seem to recall seeing images of US coins that had been struck on defective blank planchets that look VERY similar to that. Seems the planchets were cut too close to the edge of the flat coin metal sheet, which apparently was ragged. Edited by Firecom911 08/07/2007 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
