ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 5:01 pm Quote: AU-53. Center of the hair is worn, come on guys. Liberty head nickel plancents sometimes have larger planchents than normal (but still legal), so to prevent any larger planchents than the gap between the dies the dies were widened so that thicker planchets would pass through. This results in the fact that coins with thicker plancents are better struck and coins with thinner than normal planchets will be weakly struck (mostly in the center of the coin). This coin passes as a prime example of a AU-58 coin with central striking weakness. Report this Post to the Staff
