It's discolored. It's impossible to say where the discoloration occurred. Even if it occurred in the Mint, it's difficult to determine the...
Fred's not quite accurate here. While the die cap was late-stage, the brockage itself is a fairly early one. That's what you get with a clashed...
Not trying to steal any members here. But if you're in a hurry for a consult, you can find me at my main hangout, the Error Coin Information...
I doubt the absence of a date would have much effect on its value. Many capped die strikes and clashed cap strikes do not show a date because the...
They're not all that rare. Die caps often clash with the reverse die. Clashed cap strikes are one of the more common brockage subtypes. They're...
Yes, it's definitely a clashed cap strike. It's also got a thin strike-through error. The ghost of Lincoln is stronger than I thought, so it...
All embedded objects are worth something. Since this one is so small, it's not going to be worth much. Do not remove it under any circumstances.
It does appear you have a filamentous object embedded in the coin. Not "struck-through" but "struck-in". That's much nicer than an ordinary...
It's definitely not a die clash. The photo is blurry, but this may be a type of brockage known as a "clashed cap strike". A late-stage die cap,...
Die crack. A retained cud should be elevated, not recessed. Anyway, there isn't enough vertical displacement, horizontal offset, or lateral...
Although I haven't come across any counterfeit state quarters, it's quite possible that's exactly what you've got. How much does it weigh? Is...
Your description pretty much eliminates both a die gouge and a die dent. You can't have part of the defect above the field and part below the...
I see what you mean now. Are the borders of the defect raised above the field? If so, then you may have paired, parallel die gouges. Or it may...
By the way, Mr. Crawford is incorrect in assuming that it was the reverse die that rotated. Either die can rotate. It is usually impossible to...
I have a 1994 cent with the same amount of rotation. I would presume it was struck by the same die pair. I bought mine on eBay about 6 months...
It's peculiar looking, I'll grant you that. It doesn't look like a strike-through error, a lamination error, or die damage. It appears that you...
Die deterioration doubling is very common and carries no extra premium, unless it is very, very severe. Even then, we're talking only a few dollars.
Good deal. Your missing clad error is legit. Nice find. The status of the other coin is still indeterminate. As I mentioned, the weight of a...
I would say it's die deterioration doubling, along with some expansion of the letters caused by die fatigue.
Yes, it's die deterioration doubling.
