This could become an ongoing thread for me. I don't know a lot about this kind of material. Stay tuned for more tomorrow... In the meantime, please share your opinions. Thanks! 1. 2. 3.
They're all legit errors. They need authentication for the money. You may be able to pick up a small premium raw.
@C-B-D I'm not so sure about the Winged Liberty. Are you thinking that it might be cuds on the obverse? If so, you would think there should be weakness in the strike on the reverse in the area at "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", but I don't see any. Chris
I just see them as big die chips. I guess the fact the blobs are along the rim may classify them as cuds. Do all cuds display weakness on the reverse? They may just not be big enough to cause visible weakness. Maybe the dies were set too close and that flowed metal to fill all voids. Or the planchet is over weight. Have a professional look at it. The Roosevelt dime is damage. Post-strike damage at the mint. May not be technically an error to some. It got caught up in the feeder mechanism. It is not a clip. Weight the coin. I think it went in the bag that way. Weight the nickel.
I am more in the boat that the liberty was a solder job. The Jeff looks ok, Blakesley is there. The Rosie looks like it was pinched with a tool. I am having a hard time seeing how it was done at the mint.
Cuds that big would certainly keep a lot of coin metal from flowing into the reverse legend, causing it to be very weak. How close do you think they could set the dies for a dime? Get real! An overweight planchet? It would have to be as thick as a nickel, but where did the rest of the coin metal go, and what happened to all of the other "overweight" coins that came from the same strip of metal? Right! Chris PS. You don't "weight" a coin. You weigh it!
3 more: Real errors or bull hockey? The middle blank is the size of a 2 cent piece. I haven't weighed it yet, but it's too thin to be that...
What does the first one weigh? It looks like there is an image on the copper blank? Winged looks like it was corroded at one time. The last is PMD. What did Fred say about the others?
