tapapple65 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 3:35 pm Looks like it was tilted causing a weak strike. The area looks as is it matches from the obverse to the reverse. But I am just guessing Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 4:35 pm Looks like it maybe a tapered planchet. What is the weight? It may be thinner on the area in question. So place it between a couple of other coins to show this. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 4:36 pm About a third of it's weight is gone and even with wear a split before strike error would have retained a rough apearance so it looks like a rolled thin planchet error Report this Post to the Staff
