MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 7:21 pm A while back I posted an 1985 with a diagonal cut across the planchet. This only goes half way across but appears to be of the same nature. If this is determined to be on the planchet prior to striking, it must happen quite often. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 9:27 pm I do not agree. A cut made after the strike would be heavier on the tops of the columns, and would likely not affect the bays. It would also have missing areas in the crevaces, which this does not. I believe this is some form of problem the planchet had before it was struck. That's the only way the result could look like this. Although I doubt it's much, and I doubt it's worth a heck of a lot, this is a mint made error of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
