This could very well be an old way of waffling coins , it was rejected because it was struck several times. . I been trying to put clues together as to how this formed. The first thing that comes to mind if this isn't a waffle coin is that there was a conveyor system made of a chainlink assembly where the coin may of been thrown in between the belt and drive teeth while the coin was still warm/hot from strike. I strongly believe this happened at the mint I find his thought process the most interesting part of this auction. It's a great example of how forums like this can educate collectors like me on what is and what isn't possible in the coining process. Knowledge sure beats "coining" your own bizarre explanation, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 4:56 pm Does he even know what waffling is? A waffled coin looks as if it were stuck between a couple of 2 ton weights rubbing together really fast. In fact, he could have easily done exactly what he suggested to have happened to it. Don't be fooled. Report this Post to the Staff
