Nice
Along with Mountain Man, maybe limit your search to what is known. So don't bother with what isn't known since it's likely to be damage. You can...
Thank you! Split plating... so the same thing that is common on the reverse of 1991 cents. The same idea as split plating doubling?
Hub doubling on incuse (sunken) devices decreases their size, rather than increasing. You are seeing what is said to be machine doubling, although...
Is it rare for a die crack to expose zinc? These are two different cents from a UNC roll, so I know it isn't damage. I have a 1993 spike head die...
Cool to see you comment! So you believe they are ultimately die varieties? I can't wrap my head around it because the wide AM die on, say, a 1999...
Personally I would call the low and high leaf die errors since they happened to the die after it was created. Maybe similar to intentional die...
I can't see the variety side, no. They are proof dies, so they'd be the same as the dies that struck proof coins. And if they're the same, there...
Oof hahaha
Thank you all for the responses! I figured out that Daughtrey calls them errors as well. Wiles has them listed in design varieties, but every...
I love that name! :) Thank you for the links!
Are rare close/wide AMs considered varieties or errors? Authorities differ... I side with Mike's die installation error, but Wexler and CPG have...
You are awesome!!
Thank you! <3 I thought of the pre die break depression as well, which seems to be common on modern nickels and quarters. It is incused on the...
You call die breaks cracks as well?!
That is my go-to site, but I feel that it doesn't explain enough to answer my questions here. However, a close coin friend did help me today with...
I don't mean rare, just some of those errors are rarer than the other. Circular die cracks and retained die breaks are a lot rarer than die...
I understand where you are coming from, but these are the official terms used by Mike Diamond to describe aspects of die wear progression. It is...
Thank you for the explanation! I actually haven't heard of those until now. General errors on coins seem far more complicated than die varieties.
How can circular die cracks, retained die breaks, and die breaks be differentiated? What are the characteristics of each? I understand the...
Separate names with a comma.
