Ooh, nice error. Brockage is the term, IIRC? Someone else more knowledgeable can correct me. Also, hold your coin by the edge, not the rims/fields.

 

like this

 

No, I meant when you handle the coin, handle it by it's edges, not the rims or the fields. Don't touch the face, either side, of the coin with your fingers. Finger oils can get on the surface and do all kinds of nasty things.

It's definitely an error, just a question of exactly what kind of error it is.

 

what kind of error could it be

 

thanks for the tip on handling coins

 

I believe it's a brockage.

 

what could it be worth
( i think it is 1996 but its realy hard to tell)

 

No clue. I've found a few in my roll-searches, none as awesome as that, though.

 

that makes me feal special

late state capped die

a brockage should show a mirror-image of the reverse over the obverse. This looks like very late state capped die, as the correct image is visible.

 

you are right that is it

 

how much is it worth

 

here is another pictue

 

It's worth 100,000 dollars.......

 

realy

 

No, it's worth a few bucks. Thanks for the correction between brockage and capped die, my bad.

 

how much is this coin it is a 1853 half dime
