One thing to look for on genuine wrong planchet errors (and incomplete planchets like clips) are the outermost areas nearest the rims/edges. Since a cent planchet is smaller in diameter than the quarter collar, part of the planchet will hug the collar and part of it won't on a die strike. Areas that hug the collar will have strong rims, strong designs, and edge reeding. Designs won't be warped much or at all. See what I mean here: However areas nearest the edges that don't hug the collar will expand and stretch, and often the designs will become stretched and distorted as you see with the "9" of the date. It also will have a weak rim and little to no reeding as it didn't reach the reeded collar completely, if at all. It also didn't fully reach the rim gutter on the die which makes the rims more defined. This is the result of metal flow as well since expansion flows from the center towards the edges. See what I mean here: The only issue left would be to determime if this is actually a genuine cent planchet and/or if the quarter dies are genuine or fake.
here is a page from the book about this very subject. Of course, the pages in the book aren't blurry as this is a jpeg
Actually closer in age, to a son. I honestly didn't even know he was on this forum. It is a great book. You won't be disappointed.
The only reason why this is a 2nd Edition is because I ran out of books and had to print more, but I wanted to add a few pages and correct a couple typos. However I was advised that because I made changes I need to call this a 2nd Edition. Most of the material is still the same. I think I have about 15 new pages of different error types and Analysis and stuff
I suppose I could put a PDF together and send it to you via email. It might take a couple weeks cuz I'm still in the final editing stages before I send it to the publisher. Let me know if that option interests you
It's really not a problem. I would like to get them out to you if you would like them. It just might be a couple weeks
Good to know. Updates on the additions would be appreciated, if you can get around to it. No big deal if you can't.
I think it looks like somebody who cut a coin to make it look like a guitar pick and then tried to pawn it off to some coin collector who didn't know better after realizing it is horrible as a guitar pick.
