Definitely legit, the rims speak volumes. Looks like it was struck on a 10c planchet?

I disagree. For one thing it looks to have been filed down because the removed portion isn't even close to being round. There is way too much intact rim on this example to have been a dime planchet. And a dime planchet fed through the upsetting mill wouldn't result in ANY raised rim whatsoever. The two planchets are far too different in diameter. It would have been pushed through the upsetting mill by the quarter behind it without any rim at all being raised.

but the dime would have a rim from the dime upset mill then when struck as a quarter the rim not at the edge of the die would get squished to the same thickness as the center of the coin resulting in a non perfect round shape

now you can see how the pattern remaining are pretty much the same from both examples

i think either a caliper measurement of the thick side, to match a dime,or a weight, would be needed, to be 100% sure. and where does the edge reading finish..

Nice wrong planchet error. No reason to think anything different.

i think people are being thrown by the shape but need to understand how the metal will react when not all of it is struck with even pressure  |

It would have been pushed through the upsetting mill by the quarter behind it without any rim at all being raised. Jim, none of those variables apply with wrong planchet errors. 1. The 10c blank was likely a Type 2 planchet, already gone through an upset mill. In fact, most Canadian off-planchet errors are struck on Type 2 planchets. finding them struck on Type 1 planchets is really rare. 2. Without a collar in contact around the entire coin, I would not expect a round planchet. Look at the examples in my PCGS showcases. 3. As long as part of the coin is touching the collar die, the expanding metal when struck, would form a rim. Now, look closer, where the rim fragment means the edge of the coin. That dovetailing is _exactly_ like what you see in a legit clipped planchet. Quote:
