- This coin commemorates the year that I started this collection (although I didn’t acquire it until 2006). A planchet entered the coining press and rested on top of a struck coin. The struck coin cause the deep brockage indent on reverse. The back of Roosevelt’s head and mintmark are visible incuse. Elsewhere the coin is mirrored and spreads out to a huge side, splitting at its edges. The Schuler presses make very few errors, but when things go wrong, they are resplendent, crazy mistakes. While I used to be a classic-coin aficionado, I appreciated these ultra-modern errors because so few of them are escaping the Mint.
