    Had this one come in, not something I've seen or could find in the book. The edges are smooth not reeded. Anyone seen one before?

    Nice mis-strike!

    Looks like it slipped in the dies, the reeding is put on when it is stamped so if it wasn't in position it would be smooth.

    That explains it, I wondered why it was smooth.

    Cant find any previous sales for them so am going to have to keep digging.
