I can't find anything in the internet about it, it led me here. Is this a planchet error and what does that mean? Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 02:44 am If you don't know what a planchet error is, your coin probably isn't. (A planchet error is where the wrong metal blank was mistakenly used). What question might you have about this coin that made you question things at all? In general we like to see both sides of your coin, and closeups of areas of interest, so can you please show us the reverse side of your coin? Where did you get it, and what does the coin mean to you? What questions might you have that we can answer for you? to the CCF! We'd love to see what other coins you might have! (one per thread, please) Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 03:07 am to the CCF! please post both sides of the coin. From what I see on the coin, it looks like Post Mint Damage. PMD. The last 5 may have been distorted by a vending machine (gum ball machine ?) The damaged, displaced metal is parallel to the rim. The coin may have been pushed through the mechanism with enough force to shear and displace the metal of the 5. Nothing that I know of in the minting process could cause this.

Togarattapilly New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/31/2021 04:25 am Thank you for defining planchet error and post mint damage. It was the five that caught my eye and prompted me to ask. Thank you for explaining. Report this Post to the Staff
