stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 10:37 am The planchet is the correct weight for that year. It has a protorim so it went through the upsetting machine. My thought is the ridges on the edge may stem from a damaged die when the blanks were punched from the coin metal sheets. This could have left ridges on the blank that would not disappear when it became a planchet in the upsetting machine . If this coin had been struck in collar the ridges would be gone but it wasn't confined by the collar. Conjecture. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 10:59 am It's just Wrapping Machine Damage. Since the coin is wider than normal, the rims get scratched going through the machinery. There's a good article about this here: https://www.NGCcoin.com/news/article/565/ Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 12:31 pm I believe it is the correct planchet and do not think it is the wrong planchet. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 12:42 pm Hi! Interesting find. Tanman2001, has a very, very plausible answer to how this happened. So we'd be looking at a legit mint error, and PMD also. Very interesting find. I had a long reply of speculation involving a lathe and a straight knurling tool, but Tanman2001 I think has it pegged with his link.
