Going through a roll of really sweet 1961 D LMC's and ran across 5 with this tumor in and under the N of UNITED. First thing that came to mind was a chip or a crack, but this don't look like no chip or crack that I've seen. Second thing I thought of was a clash, but there's no other signs of clash on either side of the coins. There are others in the roll with the clash, but none are anything like these So before I run out of ideas or assume incorrectly, I'm going to ask the masses... What exactly is this???
G Gouge, ok I guess I can see that, but would that be considered a S, M, L, or XL for a gouge? How though did that incorporate itself under (or so it seems) the N?
Envision what the die would look like with the N and the gouge. The gouge is above the N, not below it
Do they all have the filled "R" in liberty? Very cool die chips. It is nice to have chips on one side, but I think having them on both is better..
As a matter of fact they do. There were also some clashes and a couple of WDDR-002's that I plan on posting if I can get the focus correct.
Very nice. That is one cool roll of cents to find five of the same error. And other stuff too. You must be the first one to search it.
I've been sitting on this and other rolls from an online auction for about a year and just now breaking into them. There are 58's thru 62's both mints to look over so there may be more???
Thanks for noticing. I'm using my Samsung WB1100 16.2 MP on macro setting. The lighting is what's tricky deciding on what angles to use to bring out the details.
If you have automatic focusing, turn it off as generally cameras try to focus on the larger areas unless you have a spot focus setting you can turn on instead.
