Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 6:09 pm Came across this the other day and found it interesting. I believe it is a planchet error, like some type of delamination? As you can see parts of the reverse are removed, and on the obverse there is weakness over the breaks, similar to a Cud. Is my terminology correct? Also I would place value on this at arround $5 +/-2, is that also correct? Edited by Americanamafia 04/21/2011 6:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 9:34 pm What Coop is trying to say (and I agree) is that since the area directly opposite the large concavity on the reverse is convex, the concavity was placed into the coin after the coin was struck...layman terms-the coin is damaged-it is not an error of any kind.

The coin is not bent though, I originally thought it was a plier job. I guess my next question is, if the planchet was incomplete BEFORE being struck, wouldn't the opposite side be weakly struck.
