JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 5:42 pm Looks like it has been Struck Through Grease both sides which would account for loss of design Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 5:49 pm Interesting. Besides the weight & design deficits, it looks to me to have been struck slightly off center as well. It doesn't seem like normal wear from circulation, perhaps the planchet was partially deficient in thickness? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 6:14 pm I agree. Tapered planchet. If we saw an edge shot of area, it would probably be thinner. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 7:02 pm Definitely not Struck Through Grease. (if it was, then the weight would be normal) It's a Tapered Planchet. (AKA Rolled Thin Planchet) Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 7:43 pm A tapered planchet and a rolled thin planchet are not the same thing. Both will usually show a decreased weight but a rolled thin planchet was the same thickness all the way across, and a tapered planchet was typically normal thickness on one side and below normal on the other.
