Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 4:35 pm Have not been able to ID this particular error yet, and was hoping for a little help. It weights in at 5G with a diameter of 0.79 inches. Thinking it might be STG (struck though grease) due to faintness of impression. Shout out time - Thank you ALL for sharing. I have been able to gain so much knowledge through the forums since I joined recently. I hope that I will be able to do the same in the future for others. Report this Post to the Staff

Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 5:06 pm Thank you John1! Time to dig into the link you provided and hopefully understand how such a symmetrical reduction in size can occur. Well another lesson was the 180 second wait period for new folks. The link provides great detail John1. A key note was how the edges fold over for Dryer Coins (Thanks for sharing that one coop!) Report this Post to the Staff
