I won this 1871 Peru Sol last week and it arrived today. Because of how dark the coin is in hand and my poor photo skills, I'm just going to provide a link to the completed sale of the coin. The photos there are much better. The question(s) involve whether or not there are lamination errors on this coin (or some suggestions of what those might be) and if the cracks/die breaks that I see are really cracks or die breaks, or something else. I'd like to hear any and all opinions any member might have. First, the coin : 254471899047 Then shoutouts to the best error guys : @paddyman98 @Fred Weinberg Thanks in advance for any ideas, insights, opinions or thoughts.
Thanks for the opinions. I thought they were die breaks also. @paddyman98 , what I saw as lams is the line on the left side of the obverse that runs under FIRME Y and then ends in FELIZ and on the reverse, it's the colored line that runs through the plant on the left, then North through the ANA LI of PERUANA LIMA. It's probably just discoloration, or more die breaks. The coin is very dark in hand. I think I will need to get a lighted computer microscope. lol @longshot You've probably seen many more of these than I have, because of the ones I've seen there haven't been a lot of die breaks. I'll have to look at some more of them. I went after this coin because of the good detail on both sides and the possible errors. Except for how dark it is, I'm quite happy with it. Thanks to everyone for their help and opinions.
