Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 03/24/2026 9:14 pm Hello Everyone on this pleasant evening... I don't think ANACS is 'telling the whole story' here: the coin is double-struck both sides (it would have to be), and with ejection scratches opposite the imprint - they should be present, and they are. The flan crack is just the Cherry on top. What do you think? Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 03/24/2026 9:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/27/2026 12:52 am Wow, it appears too me it may have been struck on both sides (the reverse not fully) before the brockage happened... Or maybe an undertype the CT was struck over perhaps? I'm seeing some sort of design to the left of the planchet crack/void on the reverse. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
