I found this in a $1 coin roll today and it has me baffled.
besides being in a $1 security roll it is a Unc and weight in at 5.70 grms on a very accurate scale it is heavier than a same year 10 cent but has not reeding on the edge.
it appears un molested and sorry about the pics they are the best I can do at night
so what do you think, wrong planceht? no collar strike (if there is such a thing)?

No idea really, but it doesn't look a Unc, from what I can see it appears pretty knocked around. Sorry. :blush2:
Only .04g overweight, so probably within the tolerances.
Thanks Nevil but it isn't the grade I am interested in. Its the rim and lack of reeding that has me interested in this coin. I took pics of the front/back of the coin to show the metal flow and weighed it to show the rim is not caused by excessive wear. I just don't know how this could be caused. Can a coin be struck without reeding?
Poker machine rolling wears off the rims
That would be my thought as well usually (remember I noodle ALOT of money and have seen most things) but this thing weighs in with nil wear and does not have the appearance of Slot wear. So I am wondering can a coin be struck without reeding?

Yes, see the thread with my "out of collar" 5 cent coin but it was also offset. "Noodling finds" thread at post 496 and 502 for the edge pictures. Looks similar to yours.
thanks steeve! wish mine was offset like yours
