Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74449 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 09:28 am Not sure what it is exactly, but it looks like some type of error coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 11:38 am Looks to be an off center strike and not a MAD. But the weight made me think tapered planchet. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 12:12 pm First question: What is the weight? Second question: Is the diameter smaller than a normal cent? The reason I as is that the design doesn't look like an off center. The edge looks like it was reduced. So an image of that area would be great.u Edited by coop 03/18/2019 12:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 1:15 pm The coin was cut down to pass as a dime in a vending machine. I do not see any signs of metal flow in the devices along the incomplete edge, as you would expect if the metal was missing before the strike. I expect it will weigh in about 5% light.
