Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/02/2010 09:53 am What is it called when you have a coin that is deeper into the planchet (rim-wise) on one side, and a nearly flat rim on the other? And did this occur during upsetting the blank or during the strike? And, of course, are they worth anything? I can post pics if necessary. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/02/2010 11:06 am LOL - not quite. That coin was a mess! Now that I look at it maybe it is just a misaligned die? Deep rim on the obverse, nearly flat on the reverse. The 2nd pic looks like the rim is raised more than it really is at the top, but it really looks more like the left side of the pic all around.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/03/2010 10:07 pm I am laughing too. I thought you meant obverse vs reverse not one side to the other. It was worth a try at least worth the laugh. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/03/2010 10:28 pm I didn't want to revive this thread just to say "I wish I could find one of those". But, since we're here, I wish I could find one of those! Sorry I was weak on my description. And more sorry I wasted so much time when I should have just looked at it a little closer. Actually, wider. I was looking so close that I didn't see the big picture. Report this Post to the Staff
