Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73987 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 10:22 pm If the scale is correct, then your coin is overweight. Might have been struck on a Rolled Thick Planchet. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 10:48 pm 3.24 grams was the mint's spec maximum. It's a touch over but not that unusual and might be a slightly thick planchet as noted above. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 11:50 pm There was another post on another forum about 4 years ago with the same year, mint, and weight cent. The conclusion there was the same as here. Report this Post to the Staff

Meemsz Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 5:34 pm So is a roll thick planchet consider an error? More screen shots - strike 2 http://goccf.com/t/478890 Edited by Meemsz 12/30/2024 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10515 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 5:50 pm "Error classification:" "This is considered a "planchet error" because the mistake occurred before the coin was struck, during the initial production of the blank." But your coin isn't that much over mint tolerances and will not fetch any premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 7:02 pm It is outside the max by about 3%. It might carry a small premium, a dollar or 2. Report this Post to the Staff
