You know, the more I look at that coin I truly believe that it is extremely close to a half-half dollar coin....Yes....Very Unique
Not sure what is the topic, was looking to see if I can find an 1981 S dime error so I can compare with mine, where are the error coins? This post was confusing. anyway found this dime,I'm sure This is an error look at eyebrow or fore head, there seems to be something or someone shot or nailed a bolt on him. What say you?
Why? This thread was created to show true mint errors in CoinTalk members collection. There are 14 pages of different examples I'm really not seeing anything on your Dime. But those small issues can be a Die Chip. Just a worn die issue. Remember that something that looks different does not always mean that it's a mint error.
Blocked die. The reverse die hadn't been degreased properly before use. Partial bottle cap mistrike. Clipped flan where the blank had been cut from the sheet too close to the next one. Double Struck Double struck and either flipped between strikes or was replaced for a second attempt, but upside down. Off-centre error. Obverse brockage. A flawed blank A laminated flan which survived long enough to circulate before disintegrating. Struck without a collar.
@Vorpaledged that's fantastic! Do you think that it is a malfunction in the press? or Intentional. Here is a multi struck fantasy coin, I picked the makers brain a little. This coin doesn't have anything to do with a malfunction that kept feeding a new planchet into the chamber.
Seeing @robp ’s British errors reminded me I have a couple. This Charles II crown is likely not broadstruck as the PCGS slab declares. As such, there is more of an error on the label than on the coin, which is just very slightly off-center, is all. I bought this one not for the supposed error but merely because I liked the look of it. There’s no mistaking the error on this 1723 South Sea sixpence.
