razorblaydejr Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 2:53 pm Can you tell me if this is a defective planchet. On the obverse it is on the right side rim 3rd star counting from the bottom up. On the reverse it is on the tip of the E and next to the R in AMERICA. Thanks for any input.

With those spots being next to each other on the coin, one is led to think that a pinching action of some sort caused the effect, and a true planchet error wouldn't smear the E. A true planchet problem of that nature should (not always) go right through the rim and you'd be able to see that. Report this Post to the Staff
razorblaydejr Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 05/03/2015 6:03 pm Thank you. Yes, it was the smear of the E that I was most interested in. I didn't know if that was some sort of mint error or PMD. Thanks for your thoughts and explanation. Report this Post to the Staff
