coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 11:56 am The coin color looks altered a bit. So I doubt if this is a real incomplete planchet. Some areas look correct, others not. The rim areas on one side of the altered area show the look correct, but the other side of the clipped area the rim doesn't look correct. The reverse rim area where there shouldn't be a raised area looks wrong. (4:00-5:00) The motto area on the obverse looks like it was altered with pliers on GOD? TRUST doesn't look correct for an incomplete planchet. 'WE TR' looks like that area is bent. So I have my doubts on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
