biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 5:41 pm Multiple separate items have been combined for display purposes- a normally struck proof coin is surrounded by scrap webbing from the stock metal sheet after the blanks were punched out. The coin and four pieces of scrap webbing are otherwise unrelated and those four pieces are not physically attached to the coin itself. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 5:53 pm I did as well. I suspected it was a fake error, but wasn't 100% sure. Now I know. Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 6:17 pm The coin itself has reeded edges. Looks pretty obvious to me, not an error. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 6:35 pm Does anyone know the diameter of a half dollar type one planchet? It seems to me that there should be a bit more room between the coin and the cut outs. Maybe not. Maybe the upsetting mill only reduces the planchet diameter by a mm or less.
