Lukyu New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 12:23 am It's not a thinning of width due to something like being ran over or smashed but "naturally" thins in one spot Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 12:31 am It is probably a "Thinned Planchet" since the strike seems unaffected tho weakened, the sign of thin planchets. This is where the stock plate of material has been rolled thinner than normal. If you weigh the coin, it will probably be less than the normal 3.1gr. It is not that unusual of an error, so doesn't hold much value to it. BTW Edited by Crazyb0 05/03/2018 12:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
