I'm curious as to how this happens at the mint. This is on a Louisiana quarter. Does anyone have any info? This isnt my example,I'm just curious...it was called a dropped letter error..
http://www.error-ref.com/struck-through_dropped_filling/ Struck through dropped filling. Read the information on the webpage I shared with you. Some more information - https://www.numismaticnews.net/article/error_finds_include_dropped_letter
Probably not. He stated it's not his coin. Probably looking at examples from the internet. He just wanted to know how It occurs. Maybe he can link us the the webpage?
First thought upon seeing the link (not having viewed the video) "It's NOT a variety". That's a bad sign right there. OK, watched it, it is clear he doesn't have a strong understanding on errors vs varieties. He does identify it correctly but makes no explanation of exactly what caused it and talks about the possibility of more being found. (if the obv was the hammer die almost certainly not, the dropped letter would be carried away with the coin. If it was the anvil die you might get another one but the dropped Y would most likely be in a different location.) And he spends about half the video talking about himself and his store/shop etc. Another example of a poor Youtube coin video,
I agree with you,JB is very knowledgeable,he called it an error in the video,idk why he called it a variety in the title. He says "if there are more than one of these,its a variety,but since this is the only example it is an error" ...or something to that extent...
He's giving the wrong information. There are plenty of dropped filling errors to be found. All are in different locations. It's just an error.. Definitely not a variety. Way to much confusion occurs when new mint error searchers watch these videos. If you're not sure always ask us.
And that's why I'm here.This would be a great error to find. The penny in the link you sent is an excellent piece
