bobbylena Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 07:37 am Found this while yesterday searching a couple of rolls and thought it may have been a misstrike. I apologize for the pictures and will continue to try but think I need a better camera. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 2:41 pm Your coin is an ex-encasement coin. It was struck into a 'good luck' token then later taken out of the token. The machine that bonds the token ring to the coin flattens the rim of the coin in the process. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/08/2011 3:32 pm I find that more often than not, the coins that are ex-encased actually FELL out of the holders. Once they fall out they get stuck in mixed wheat bags and people find them. Report this Post to the Staff
