Face error half dollar

Duke: BUT THE ROLLERS ARE VERY OLD, The people from the Colony was not only from England o from Irland; they come here from many different countries with all different kind of coins. And I believe they payed taxes. Later; what the goverment did with all that money (coins)?. MELLTED for make more money. In this procces the hardest pression the material suffer is "The rollers"; In my oppinion the answer is in the blank planchets, before they are going to be thumbleWhat years? is the other question. Remember in this fourum many times happen "There's something but I don't know what it's" and then. I see you later.

Carlos.....

get yourself a few Unc. coins. You will not be able to find anything you are describing on those coins. With the exception of bag marks there will be nothing in the fields or devices. What you are describing are not impressions from old coins but is damage from day to day handling, or intentional abuse.

If you purchased brand new cutlery, it would be shiny and unspoiled. After years of use you could find all kinds of "images" in the scratches, pitting etc..
Those would also be the result from day to day handling, not from melting down old cutlery!

You're using waaaaay too much imagination, trying to explain things that look like something familiar. That was what my intention was when I posted the cloud "link" some time back. Just because it looks like a teddy bear does not make it a teddy bear.

 

:hail:Carlos don't be a bogart and pass it on around to rest of us so we can see it too:goofer::goofer::goofer:

 

I think there is only 1 person in this thread that understands what he is talking about.... and it's him.

 

Just trying to teach a member the difference between mint errors and post mint damage.....

.....and fantasy and reality.

 

Carlos are you saying we are rolling out the palnchents using rollers from the colonial coin era. I am going to need some of what you have been smoking. Ice

 

OK....I don't have the history of this, but have read this thread. It seems to me that Carlos is just messing with everyone (notice how he never directly responds to queries). Maybe I'm wrong and he's serious, but it doesn't seem that way to me. Have any of you considered that he is just making this stuff up just to mess with ya?

 

I'm very serius, but now I answer with more caution because there's some people all ready screaming against this talking. What I said is that "THESE ROLLERS WERE USED; TO STRAIGH UP THE MATERIAL COMING FROM COLONY COINS". After the Colony coins were "melted". The rollers are no old but the images they catched from the coins are. This is only a possibility.

 

Yep... works for me (snicker...)

 

Wow..... just.. wow....

I will be telling the coin club about this one.....

 

My dog died and went to heaven.

My dog died and went to heaven.

How ironic. His name was Bogart!

But my dog died and went to heaven......and I can prove it.
It's not just smoke mirrors & vapor.

It's more like "Bogart in the sky with Diamonds."

 

They use dies to make coins and that space you are showing is larger on the LARGE CENT and even if they did coin it it would have spread the metal out to make the pattern bigger.

It just makes no sence to me or anyone else it seems

 

Why would you straighten material before you melted it they run it through the rollers again? And then we keep the rollers for 100 years and keep using them? Carlos read up on how palnchents are made. Also that distance beween the nose on a large cent and the distance you are seeing on the Linclon are very different. Carlos go put a penny on the railroad tracks then come back and pick it up maybe you will see the little king in it then. Ice

 

Carlos,

What you are suggesting cannot possibly happen. At no time would a coin that was produced 100-150 years earlier ever be anywhere near the coining operation for a modern coin. Why would it be anyway?

The raw metal used to make our coins is smeltered and formed into large ingots. These ingots are then run through a press to form long sheets of metal. These sheets of metal are then run through a blanking machine to cut out the individual planchets. The planchets are then fed into a machine called a riddler to separate any miscut or undersized planchets. Then, the planchets are fed into the upsetting mill which raises a slight rim on the edge of the planchet. From there, the planchets are fed into the coining chamber one-by-one to produce the coins.

Chris

 

well see - rollers press down the ingots & voila! little king pressed in.
oh I'm sorry guys.

 

Long live the little king!!
