anthonystrd, welcome to the forum. In the future you may not want to post the same thread in 2 different areas the moderators most likely will remove one.

That being said, I believe this the be deteriorated dies. Could you provide better pictures?

 

More Pics!

 

Much better pictures! I was thinking maybe some type partial brockage but I'll stick with severe die deterioration. Cool looking though! Neat find. What does the reverse look like?

 

Nickelman....
Just a thought---but what about a late-stage Die Cap?

Speedy

 

Wish I had an answer, but I have not seen enough error coins to be able to tell this one.

 

Speedy:
Great guess, now we'll just have to wait for Mike.

 

Who said that it was a guess Frank You know I wouldn't mess up and make a wrong guess. LOL!!!

Speedy

 

Speedy is correct. The coin was struck through a late-stage die cap. The wrinkled surface and mushy design is characteristic of such errors. As errors go, these are relatively common and bring a price of about $15 on eBay. I don't see any doubling of design elements, but such effects are known in association with capped die strikes, and arise from a number of causes.

 

Speedy:
Wow!
Now that we have heard from Mike, congratulations!

Maybe he doesn't want to grow up to be like us. I'm so disappointed

 

It was tongue-in-cheek

After studing this coin for awhile I decided that it was pretty much the only thing that would make it look like this. The detail was pretty strong, but it looked like something that was thin, had been placed over the die. It didn't have the same look as a strike through, and most other things would (IMHO) make some of the detail missing. While I still wanted to see Mikes thoughts I was pretty sure.

Sorry if I sounded like I was big headed I only wish your company was closer to my area!!

Speedy

 

That is far from the truth. I only find out each day was little I know and how there is sooo much more to learn. Maybe some day I'll be able to help someone like ya'll have helped me for so many years! I don't know I or my collection would be if I hadn't run into you and some other guys over on the CoinWorld forum....those were fun days!

Speedy

 

I would have guessed some type of strike through, but I have no idea what a late stage die cap is. Anyone care to explain for me (and others who I'm sure are interested) but too lazy to look it up? Thanks in advance...Mike
