Do I have an error coin?

[a312563]

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.

Sorry about that. Here are some pics.

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?

Welcome to TreasureNet a312563.

I believe Diggummup is correct, your piece was not produced by the U.S. Mint. It is a silver round produced by an independent mint. I'm presuming it matches the 5 oz silver round in the photo I'm attaching. Notice the lack of $ denomination. I don't know for sure if it is an error or not but feel confident in saying you'd be hard pressed to find someone to pay a premium for an error by an independent mint.

Also, I'm moving this thread to a more appropriate Board as this one is for Forum specific help.

The reeding looks like it is purposely made like this.
