Do I have an error coin?
I have a U.S. 5 ounce silver coin that has reeding 90% around the edge. 10% of the edge is perfectly smooth. Is this an error? If so how much might it be worth?

Welcome to Treasurenet. Unfortunately, there is no way to answer this question without a photo.
When you say "U.S. 5 ounce silver coin" you probably mean an "American Eagle" or perhaps an "America The Beautiful" series 5 oz. silver bullion round.

I stand corrected. You mean a .5 ounce coin not 5 ounce correct? I don't think they made a 5 ounce American eagle. Unfortunately whatever you have it was not produced by the U.S.Mint I don't believe. Therefore any error value is gone I do believe. Can anybody else help me out on this?

The reeding looks like it is purposely made like this.
1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.
