Sometime during the blank production, possibly the rimming phase into Type II planchets, this coin had laminated and partially split, then it was struck. It weighs in at 2.9 grams.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/23/2016 01:20 am Struck a bit off-center too. Thanks SPP. It highlights the difference expertise makes. I would have decided it was something pulled out of the clean-out pit at the recycled newspaper pulp mill I worked at in the late 1970s (i.e. env damage). Report this Post to the Staff
