edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 09:43 am Pulled this from a Coinstar reject tray a few weeks ago. The obverse is a little off center, but the reverse has some real issues....very weak from 9-12 o'clock, and the top of the (D)IME is missing. Any thoughts are appreciated. Ed.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 11:16 am Are there any reeds on the edge of the coin. If not, then it might be struck off center without the collar. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 4:52 pm My scale is accurate, but not that precise. The scale was wavering between 2.2 and 2.3 grams, so I split the difference at 2.25 grams. Seems a bit light doesn't it? Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 5:03 pm It could have been struck on a thin planchet. How does it look compared to a normal dime? Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 5:36 pm Seems thin. Will post a pic of the edge later. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 6:33 pm If the weaker design is on the thinner side of the tapered planchet, then it is a planchet issue. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 11:27 am Yes, it appears that way. So if the weakness is on the tapered side, does that mean it couldn't be fully struck on that side? Here's a couple of pics, the weak side/reverse is on the left side. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 12:02 pm It is likely what Coop said, a tapered planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 11/14/2016 1:09 pm I think so too. I see these once in a while. They are a fun find Report this Post to the Staff
