Titles are Important! * Hello, When I first looked at this, I thought it was maybe pressed. However, That wouldn't soften the lettering, would it? Thanks, Shawn Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74540 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 4:53 pm Just Post Strike Damage ( PSD). It sustained this damage after it left the U.S. Mint. It's worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 5:28 pm Hi John, you're correct, I meant LD but was looking for SDs when I found this. I'm happy that I knew what you meant by LD; still learning. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 01:24 am Undoubtedly some PMD but to me the week devices indicate a lack of metal to fill them out.Maybe a light weight planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 08:00 am Dennman - weight is spot on. I'll keep it, it's an interesting looking coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 08:30 am From what I can see it looks like two small clips. The setup was weaker on these areas so the the proto rim was weaker on those areas, so the strike was weaker on those areas. No way can PSD weaken the devices like this coin. Something allowed a weakness of strike on those areas. Maybe a collar issue? But if you placed a toothpick on these areas, it would cover this. So it's to small to be damaged. It was struck that way.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/06/2018 1:29 pm I would. Although it is not in the best shape, it is an example of s slight part of the planchet missing,that moved to the rim, be weakly on the strike. Although some viewed it as damage, damage flattens, it doesn't weaken devices. Report this Post to the Staff
theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 11:00 am Coop - thank you so much for explaining! Are you using my pics for an incomplete planchet? This is cool, I feel famous to be mentioned by Coop! :) Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 11:16 am Coop is right, post minting damage can't cause an anomaly that looks like this. Nice find Report this Post to the Staff
theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 12:18 pm is this worth anything or just something to show off? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 12:41 pm It would be a hard sell because of its condition, but if someone was looking for the smallest amount of incompleteness of a planchet yours would be one of them. I've seen another one that had a bit more missing than your coin. It actually formed an extension of the metal inside the clipped area: Most of the time we see ends of that area showing the classic look of the area removed with the ends of the rim: Report this Post to the Staff
