I found this quarter with all the others perfectly normal. The edging is fine and it doesn't seem to be a thin planchet. I haven't been here for awhile and we are headed out for a vacation. But I wanted to put this on for you experts to check out. The weak lettering is on both sides and mostly on the edge with some slight doubling on the WIL of Wilmamankiller. I have seen something like this when lots of oil gets on the dies, but usually it's in one spot not on both sides and not just the edges. Anyway I will check back in a week or so. Thanks so much for any ideas   |

You lucky ducky! LOL! It's known as strike through grease error and is actually worth 100s of times face value for this particular series! Great job!  |

And as for the questioning of how they may look and be as different as yours, if I was to assume the stamp die while it presses then the grease might disburse from the center and accumulate on both sides, towards the edges &  |

Interesting. An accurate weight might tell more of the story. Please take an end-on pic of the rim, perhaps taken at a shallow angle so we can see if the rim is raised well above the obverse fields. Thanks.

Something is not OK with this coin. Has so many circulation or manipulation marks. Seem the coin was bit up and flattered and also trough the Rim is perfect on both sides (right side) and been concave. The theory of the grease can not be applied here due to the dual horizontal presses used. Is up to you to decide, me I will attach here the official Design. Look also at the Star and the High Relief of the design. This is IMHO an hand made simulation of an error after Mint Strike.  |

Differences between rim width and thickness compared to a good Wilma Mankiller coin.  |

Would this be a trial strike, or a low-pressure strike?

Looking of the pressure near the rim, physically is normal to be thicker then others (internally flow of the material). Edited by silviosi

My brother-in-law has an electronic gram scale, I will weigh it on that. It will be a few days till I see him. Thanks everyone for the fast answers and ideas I'll try back when I get it weighed. |

Was this coin in a roll that was all uncirculated?

@Khromtau:
the Mint sell rolls and small bags only to collectors. Those coins are weighted (automatically), then pass the optical recognize design machine and then go for packaging. The rest of the coins after I think so 50K strikes go in bins and delivered to the Distribution Centers. The Banks except small ones in remote places receive the boxes and the rolls from Loomis or maybe others same kind of companies. In general some Distribution centers do some rolls but not offend because will cost them the rolling and will have to pay Loomis for delivery (which has the contract to roll the coins.
So discern yourself as is work.
