This probably isn't an error which is why I can't seem to find an entry on error-ref, but it seems too clean for it to be PMD. I am really just posting in hopes to someone knows what it is called and what could cause it so I can categorize it (seems interesting to keep for a reference). Anyhoo, I got some better lighting and right off the bat spotted these two. It appears that there is some sort of slight profiling from the either side. NOTE: I've highlighted the first one so you can easily see what I am talking about. Coin 1: Coin 2: This one is a little easier to see in the reverse in that it sinks just tad. Perhaps this is just my eyes playing tricks on me, but it does seem like it matches the profile on the obverse. Maybe I am nuts, what do you see? I should note at first I thought it was a die clash, but it's just so faint and no clear mark that I disqualified that as an option. Wrong? Thanks
try this. take a magnifying glass. stay about 6-8 inches away with it. explore all angles, lighting, and don't knock anything over in the process. hehe glasses, gone., I wear glasses due to my industry. plug u might just see it better. got a clue research. its easy. oh ya don't forget inquiring minds want to know. I worked there. relax just a quote. cool? 29 degrees on thk day here it comes
That would be kinda neat if that's what it comes out to. Not for what it is, but it means my initial thought was correct. (and I just probably jinxed it )
Progressive Indirect Design Transfer There is an entry. You just don't know what to look for - http://www.error-ref.com/progressive-indirect-design-transfer/
You are hijacking threads again? You know you are not supposed to do that. Keep it on the subject of the coin in question!
While the description is accurate, it's not an error. It is a normal consequence of metal flow during striking. Look at some high end Walking Liberty halves some time. They mostly all have it. Collectors LOOK for it. It is an indication of a "not messed with" coin. Brian Silliman calls it "ghosting" in his grading classes. He teaches it as a good thing on a coin..
I was going to mention "Ghosting" but I didn't want to scare anyone Next thing you will see is people asking if their coin is haunted!
Since we are talking about spelling, thier ---> their And shiny should always be spelled shinny, despite the PM I received the other day telling me otherwise.
