One sided Uni-face

So now you are saying this is a cancelled die?? What are you talking about?

Yup, just a little more research is all it took..... it’s much easier to do the possible when you were lucky enough to do the impossible.

 

No, the name of this error is Coin Struck With A Cancelled Die.

 

But it doesn’t match any of the pics from Error-ref.com...
Use of Canceled and Defaced Dies
Part III. Die Installation Errors:
Use of Canceled and Defaced Dies
Definition: When a die is pulled from service it is first defaced before being sent out to be recycled. When a design is retired, the remaining dies are canceled or defaced so that no further coins can be struck. Installation of a canceled or defaced die is unlikely to be an accident and the coins struck by them must be considered intentional errors.

A coin struck by canceled dies will still show most of the design, but the surface will be crossed by one or more thick ridges that may run in parallel or may intersect. These ridges represent grooves cut into the die face.

A coin struck by defaced dies will show little of the design. Surface details are replaced by a coarsely textured or lumpy surface.

No examples exist of coins struck by canceled or defaced dies within the U.S. Mint. Several examples are known from other countries. These include a bimetallic 1994 Hong Kong 10 dollar coin with two parallel ridges on each face. We also have the unique Egyptian coin described below.



This Egyptian 25 piastres planchet was first struck 80% off-center by 25 piastres dies. It was then struck within a 50 piastres collar by a pair of 2010 Egypt 50 piastres dies that had most of the design ground off. The defaced 50 piastres dies only contacted the unstruck portion of the off-center 25 piastres coin. The struck tongue was left untouched by the second strike because its reduced thickness was apparently less than the minimum die clearance of the 50 piastres press.

The 50 piastres reverse die was rotated approximately 120 degrees counterclockwise relative to the obverse die (medal rotation is normal).

The 25 piastres denomination is struck on a planchet composed of nickel-plated steel while the 50 piastres design is normally struck on a planchet composed of brass-plated steel. We therefore have in this double-denomination error the rare trifecta of a planchet error (off-metal/wrong planchet), a die error (defaced), and a striking error (off-center first strike and rotated die error on second strike).

 

Finally a post that makes sense on this thread! You made me happy Mommahenn!

 

Awww, shucks! Thanx, Paddy! I’ve got some good teachers...and I listen...and am trying to learn!

 

Unlike Op.

 

I thought you said it was struck on a foreign planchet? Get your story straight. Listen to @MommaHenn. And even you meant that the coin was cancelled and meant for recycling because it didn't meet standards you are STILL wrong. http://www.error-ref.com/canceled-waffled/

Your coin is damaged. Jesus.

 

This guy is a joke.
The cent is 100% damage.
Move on everyone he is just a troll.
And not a very good one.

 

Dude is just a troll and it would be best for us all to just ignore and move on to other people who actually bring something to the forum.

 

@MommaHenn I bet you a trillion dollars he reads your awesome post and takes it to mean he's discovered the only example in the history of the US Mint. He's delusional.

 

It’s the rose-colored beer goggles he’s wearing...they make every coin look like a one of a kind error

 

It's not just the beer goggles he's smoking something.

 

Thanks.... VALIDATION that there are no pictures of a Coin Struck By A Defaced US Mint Die. (Besides Mine) See the two thick ridges running across?

 

Trolls are people too.... green (OR brown, i’m not judging) they have to know maturity and genuine approach exists somewhere and not just those who need to survive by keeping unsuccessful.... to turn to a more devious intent that once first thought.... trolls don’t have the capacity for deep thought but who they are may be swayed at a cheap price if it’s purposely lowered... to protect, usually the victimizer.

Why do you continually take information, twist it to benefit you and your opinion, and disregard the rest of the info? There are several members on this forum that are considered tops in their field, they’ve written books, etc., and you still claim victory. I don’t get it. If you’re trying to prove yourself, you’re going about it the wrong way and making yourself look bad. This website is free for all to use. The experts here also analyze our pics, give opinions and advice...all for free. As a newbie myself, if you’re going to post pics and/or ask for advice, just say thank you (even if you don’t agree) and move on. If you have additional and legitimate questions still, then post them. I don’t want to lose privileges as a new member because of the actions of others. Agreed?

 

Did you just quote yourself and then thanked yourself? That was dumb!

 

Yeah, it happened.
