Vfox Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 It's hard to tell from the shots but it's likely a bad planchet. What type of coin is it? It looks like a private issue medal moreso than a coin, am I right? Do you calipers? You could measure the coins thickness at various points to see if it's a bad planchet or even bubbling from strike lamination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
