this also may be a drier coin? can there be drier coins without the rims being folded? because the rims on this one are normal

I think it's a weak strike. The rim looks affected on the reverse and there is some wear too.

The weight is a bit light. The reverse rim is not full. The obverse looks a little weak on the opposite side. So it might be a minor thinned planchet.

not a Greaser, kinda hard to tell if this is due to any other type of error |

I brought it to my LCS today and he thinks it's a struck through capped die. He had some certified ones and it looked very similar. What do you think something like this would be worth?

So the local coin dealer thinks it is a struck though capped die on both sides?
I can't say for certain what happened to it, but I don't think it is a struck through capped die.

Yeah I asked him about why the other side was like that and he said that that can happen. I don't really know... if anyone has other opinions id love to hear them

I would say someone just rubbed it flat, but the rims are in tact....

This is a tuff one because you have to think that a major error like a capped die strike or major Greaser would have been pulled by one of the thousands of hands it would have passed through with that kind of circulation. You can always send it to one of the coneca error experts for $5 and be certain |

Unusual appearance. The well-formed design rim on the obverse and the uneven stregnth and completeness of the design on both faces strongly suggests a grease strike. However, the weakness of the design rim on the reverse suggests a weak strike. My hunch is that this IS a grease strike and that, for some reason, the rim gutter of the reverse die was filled with grease as well. This seldom happens.

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing these aren't too common so how much do you think this might be worth?
