Dynamite stick?now how does that happen lol a mint employee sabotage attempt.

 

This rotated die, while not major, technically classifies as a mint error.

 

Damn right it is

 

And mine as an "error in judgement" since it is a counterfeit...

 

Damn jack. Still stupid as always

 

Incomplete planchet. Copper coin.

 

Broadstrike

 

Real nice example.

If you get it certified, I would hope they label it a “double clip” rather than the far less desirable “scrap planchet”.

BTW what does it weigh?

 

Not a brockage, but I believe of center as part of the design is missing. The weakness intrigues me. What goes it weigh?

 

A couple of minor clips . . . . . .

Not an error but error related.

 

It weighs 1.52 grams. Just a wee bit less than half.

 

Broad strike on the obverse, struck in collar on the reverse.
Centered strike on type 1 planchet.

Those are awesome. The only one I have is my profile pic.

 

5.6 grams

 

The nickname for these partial collar coins is "railroad rim". Because they look like the wheels on railroad cars which are two different diameters. I find many of these partial collars on nickels.

 

1999 D Double strike. Capped Die Reverse

 

1999 D 85% off center

 

1989 P Off center strike
