Looks like the columns of the memorial impressed into the memorial building. It may just be PMD. I don't know, thought maybe someone else knew more about it? Report this Post to the Staff

A new roll by itself would not be enough to convict. They did not come from the mint already rolled, so someone rolled them. Would think marks would be on both sides from vice but could be anything. Still not enough to convict. She hasn't been collecting for over 40 years so she may so surely an honest mistake. Silvio will know. I emailed him to check it out. Either way . Don't collect them ,don't need them ,don't want them. Others like errors so I posted. Edited by grospoisson 03/07/2022 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

The quality control was lacking back then. Near as I can figure the copper was not mixed or clean enough when they were rolled. That left pock marks, fissures, and laminations in the finished planchet. The striking force didn't fill in the marks because the planchet was under weight. Just like this is the same area on Lincolns that doesn't fill in with a regular low weigh planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
