biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 9:24 pm Very nice That is an indented strike, created by one planchet being overlapped by another and then struck. The other component would be an 80+% off center with a uniface reverse. I am not quite sure of exact value but I think it is in the $5-10 range.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 9:25 pm Interesting...what does the rim look like in the lower right? Is the reverse just as off-center? This cent doesn't look out-of-round otherwise.... Now I see Biokemist's comment Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/17/2009 12:20 am Definitely an error - when you see a large indentation on a coin, look at the other side. If it's normal, then the indentation had to have happened on the coining press, i.e. error. Any indentation like that created outside the mint by 'damage' would definitely affect the other side of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
