It seems smaller (in diameter) than a normal LWC however weight is on par (3.1 grams). Is this a mint error? If so, what type of error is it? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 4:31 pm This coin used to be encased in a lucky piece holder, the machines that encased these coins are not very kind to them. edit: typo. Edited by JTCC 01/10/2023 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 5:04 pm As COOP says this coin has met a hammer and pipe at one time. Encased would not have this much damage. They sold them as a good luck charm, they wouldn't want to damage the coin and then try to sell it. Edited by Cujohn 01/10/2023 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 7:53 pm yep, PMD, the rim cannot be struck in this shape (bulging at top an bottom) due to the collar which holds the planchet in place. It was crushed by something. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
