alright. This has got to be one of my cooler error coins. Baaaarley missed it. The MAD is what caught my eye. But yes there's a lot of stuff going for this coin. Might not be profitable, but i think it's just awesome haha. Deterioration doubling, die deterioration lines in the fields. Looks like the word dime is melting into the fields. One of my favorite error coins that I have found. Go ahead and laugh but I think it's pretty cool
I'm not laughing. I like and collect Misaligned Die strikes. You have there a nice example with a good looking false double rim with a slight collar clash.. Thanks for sharing.
I never really payed much attention to MADs cause I always be ffinding them, but that deterioration is insane so I had to keep it. Plus you can see the MAD on both sides of the coin. Idk if you saw that the E in ONE got punched over the rim. Love that reverse
A lot of bad looking dies were used in the 80's. I still have a bunch of 1980-P Nickels that exhibit an Orange Peel effect due to deterioration. I thought they were something special and put them in 2x2's at the time. Between plating blisters in cents, worn dies on nickels and dimes, and poor quality strikes in quarters, the first half of the 80's really yielded some lousy looking coins
Does it have some minor doubling is that what I am looking at in liberty and his lips? That's cool, and another question, when does the lines on the side of the coin get there? Does that happen as the coins being stamped? I'm trying to figure out how the bottle cap like edges appear on the middle of the rim on a MAD.
