Another cool Rare Error Pickup

A clad 10 cent planchet strip, and a pretty decent size, too! I was told these are more rare than my recent copper cent one I picked up a couple days ago. So far I have a copper cent strip, steel cent, clad dime, and clad quarter strip.

Anyone have a good sized nickel webbing strip?



And below is my quarter one...

What makes webbing strips errors?

 

It is just webbing not an error. very cool as a numismatic piece to collect. I have a very small piece of webbing from a clad quarter strip...

 

From what I understand, they are "errors" because they are supposed to be cut up and then recycled to make new coins; not supposed to leave the Mint like that. Some are sold as scrap just like "waffled" coins.

Are they truly "errors?" I don't think so.

 

I wonder how many of those obviously clipped planchets made it into the system.
Not many I would think.

 

I wonder if a piece of Webbing like that was ever "in" the US Mint at all.
Did it come with a COA?
I think the Mint has out-sourced the making of some coin Blanks. I have no idea which ones, but I would want to know that info first. This is just a Black-Market type of thing, no matter which way you look at. JMO.

 

To my knowledge the only one that is outsourced are copper plated zinc cents, which are manufactured in Tennessee by Jardens Zinc Products. I'm pretty sure all other ones are done right at the Mint.

No certificate of authenticity, but when you see enough of these you know they're legitimate

 

There is nothing "Legitimate" about being able to buy such a thing. It does not matter if it comes from the mint or the recycling company they have a contract with.. the only error is that it is Misappropriated Material.

 

I am not sure I understand what you are saying in reference to "legitimate." Do you mean the sale of it is illegal?

 

I don't think it left the mint inside a "Mint Sewn Bag". So where do you purchase this type of item?

 

These are from the thread just one page over that JCro made yesterday....

 

I got this dime webbing strip from Jon Sullivan who sent me an email because he knows I collect them.

And I meant "legimate" in the context that it is actually an authentic 10 cent clad webbing strip. You can actially see the copper in the middle.

 

Can't be very rare if just anyone can buy it from the "Others".

 

I will give you 60 days. Show me where another person is offering one for sale. It really doesn't matter whether or not you think they are rare, nor does it matter if you feel they're not legitimate, it is a genuine piece and it is rare. The fact that you just don't think they are doesn't change anything.

 

A few times mint employees have purposely made their own errors, and snuck them out of the mint. I have a couple examples of experimental pieces that were supposed to have been destroyed, yet they were found inside a safe deposit box owned by a former San Francisco mint employee. Coin webbing is supposed to be shredded, but sometimes they weren't and pieces made it out of the mint. The fact that they were both supposed to be destroyed and managed to make it into the hands of collectors is really immaterial with collectors. That doesn't make them not legitimate and yet absolutely does make them both very rare.

The best you can do is simply offer your opinion, the same way I'm offering mine.

 

Don't need 60 days, https://www.fredweinberg.com/product/planchet-strip/

 

That is NOT a dime planchet strip; that is a steel cent one, which actually is the most accessible despite one year of production. Try again.

 

I am sorry, but I was told by the moderator to cease.

 

To stop looking for a clad dime strip? Might as well. They're much too tough to find anyway.

 

Got this years ago from the Canadian Sherritt Mint because I thought it was cool.
