2005 Barbados bird position change.

2005 was the year the position f the Barbados bird’s head changed. A 2.6 gram Dominican Republic planchet. Barbados Die Trial 10c with a Lincoln Cent struck on it. Possibly the stretching in the coining chamber led to the complete obv/rev rim plating lack.

In a world...

...where Mint employees have nothing better to do than find random foreign planchets, no, coins, no, die trials to slip into the US coin presses...

...ONE MAN will find the coins whose freakish features only he can see...

...and serve them up in an endless stream of hyper-magnified images, with occasional side orders of word salad.

Coming to a forum near you! Soon. And repeatedly.

 

Lincoln appears to be sporting a Chaplin/Hitler moustache.

 

I think this thread tops all of the other very strange threads Mr. tavern has created..
Barbados? Dominican Republic? Streched in the chamber?..... Sure

It beats having to look at all the other same missing clad layers, one sided only, silver cents, 1969 DDO's, 1982 SD's threads over and over again

 

HI Bob

I looked up (“Barbados Die Trial 10c “ ) for fun. To see if there was any information of what you speak. I found nothing.
Please refrain from posting this nonsense. Some of Us newbies are trying to learn!
Try learning something about the minting process. Then post and ask a question.

Because what you speak of is....

 

He's near delusional in his diagnostics but he's got some pretty coins..

 

Considering the mint stopped striking coins for other countries in 1984, how would a DIE TRIAL from another mint, in another country, have wound up in the US Mint at Philadelphia? Answer, it wouldn't. Mr Pareidolia returns again.

 

"Mr. Pareidolia" - I think you're not giving him the credit due.

"Court Jester Pareidolia" is more appropriate.

Can I hear another "Wow" ?

 

So, the Presidential $1 Coin Act Of 2005 which is online under that name @congress.gov in the last section calls for the beginning of copper cent size coinage for the 2009 Lincoln Cent proof which were to be the same composition as 1909. It may be that the US Mint this time had to reach out to score some nice copper planchets.

 

You mean, used planchets? Coins?

I don't think it's the US Mint that's doing the reaching here.

 

I think he is puckering to spit.

 

"A wet bird never flies at night."

 

The mint had nearly four years in which to acquire copper planchets, they would not have rushed to do so in 2005. And your coin shows plating blisters so it is obviously struck on a copper plated zinc planchet.

You sure use a lot of time to prove you don’t know what you’re talking about. Just an observation I thought I’d share.

 

Perhaps it's time to discuss common-sense microscope-control laws.
