Could it be a Old ragged clip, or maybe a faulty planchette?I would not want to dismiss a coin as PMD, if it`s a legit error, Also, would weighing it make a better determination? The knee jerk response would be PMD, but I`m hoping! Any answer would help, Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 3:04 pm definitely some form of planchet flaw..i can't tell if it some kind of thin area like a tapered planchet or or maybe a piece of the planchet chipped off before the strike. whatever happened to the planchet though was there before the blank's rim was upset since you can (i think) see the raised edge on the unstruck area. no matter what though, this coin was struck on an incomplete planchet of some kind since you can see a blakesy effect.

KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 5:17 pm Yes, it does "rim up" inside the missing area, also, I too noticed a blaksy effect, which confused the heck of of me, because that 1s not usually associated with a planchet flaw! "Tnx, Dollorman, Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 5:26 pm My knee jerk reaction is PMD. There appears to be raised areas near the D and G, and the N and D. Metal should flow into the void rather than up from it. The coin appears to out of round,humping out at the C T area, rather than inwards. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 5:52 pm ok, just for laffs, heres a few more pics, also the coin weighs out at 5.50-5.52 grams, normal would be 5.67ish, so, seems to be light. Report this Post to the Staff
GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 7:00 pm I would tend to agree with ace Its very tough to see if there's actually any proof of a flaw... Even the fact that the damage is directly across from each other (on a clock face) could be an indicator in either case. Report this Post to the Staff
