1969D w/floating "E" on reverse.

I thin this is some kind of die-clash. The "E" is same size as the one used in "States". What do you guys think?

It could be a dropped letter. Sometimes a letter or number in the die gets filled with grease/metal shavings gunk. When the gunk drops out, it sometimes falls on the next planchet and gets stamped in.

 

Looks like it was done intentionally dropped letters don't look like that post mint damage.

Here's what a dropped letter looks like raised image on a state hood quarter not incused.Is the E incused or raised? By the pic it looks incused.

That is still a pretty cool penny...ask a local coin dealer what he thinks. Someone went to a lot of trouble if it was done post mint...lol

 

It looks like a dropped letter, perhaps one of the 'E's from UNITED or STATES or AMERICA. Post mint, I don't think so.

 

Look at the distence between the E on the letters and then look at the E that;s incused a big difference in seperation. You don't Think so?

JC

 

Read my post again. And then report back.

 

I don't think so that;s a long distance away.the image is incused look at the coin i posted third post down from the top.

ok maybe maybe but still have my doubts i will go fifty fifty with you on this
JC

 

Why do you think that a dropped letter would be anything but incuse?
That photo you posted looks doctored.

 

That's a authentic photo it's from a statehood quarter dropped letter No they don't have to be raised all the time but i have my doubts about this one I'm pretty sure usually when you have a dropped letter there close to the same letter and you claim this is from the E in America.We know it's not from the E from Cents that's for sure.

Like you said 'usually'. The 'D' in your photo is incuse. And it's a 1976D 50c.

 

Ok no the D in the photo is raised are you trying to confuse me. Let me clear this up they could be incused or raised images.I still have my doubts about this one ,but you may be right Rockdude.

Joe

 

No, it's clearly a job you do well. Here's a clip from the article about the 50c piece and if you will notice is says 'incuse'.
"One of the most spectacular dropped letters that I have seen is the 1976-D Half Dollar photographed here; Note that on this example, the metallic dirt has fallen out leaving an incuse and inverted image of the letter ("D").

 

WATCH you step with the comment my friend:hail: yea and it;s in the same area and the op's E is in a different country were you claim the letter was dropped.

JC

 

Don't be theatening people on this site. And dropped letters have been known to show up on the other side of the coin from which it originated.

 

Then watch what you say i will defend myself there was no reason for that remark you should appologize and be a man about it.

Joe:hail:

 

I am staying out of this one....How, though, would one place an E on the penny post mint??? With a branding iron? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEk

 

Well look back at your comments, you say it's a quarter 'confused' you say it's raised 'confuse' you say your pretty sure usually when you have a dropped letter there close to the same letter, 'confused'. Well? Don't be threatening people on this site.

 

You don't know what a threat is,I will not deal with you like the last time you made comments to me.

You made a bad remark which you always did the last time i was here so your the one that;s wrong, and i should get an appology from you if your man enough to do this

We just misunderstood each other in the post why would you go so far to an extreme to make a remark?Wow something is wrong.

Joe

 

Yep you are right and I apologize for discussing this thread with you. Maybe in the future you could be more accurate with information you post.
