Would you care to explain what the error is? In layman terms, please!

An "incomplete punched planchet" occurs when the punch does not completely punch out a planchet, but leaves a circular groove. If the strip advances improperly, planchets overlapping the incomplete punch will bear a curved groove; the groove remains visible after the coin is struck.
