Not spooned, but rolled and squeezed in the horizontal plane by a hand-cranked or motor-driven mechanical device.
It doesn't satisfy any existing definition of "shattered die". There is only one crack/split. As to value, I've seen dimes struck by this...
Heavy die wear on the reverse that might be obscuring/distorting a light die clash.
The reverse shows a late die state. The obverse was mechanically altered outside the mint, probably by a buffing wheel.
It's an asymmetrical split die straddled by a retained interior die break and some die chips.
It's a "forced" broadstrike with a full, nearly-centered, first-strike brockage.
The answer is "one". A die variety is defined by its etiology (manner of formation), not its abundance.
As Paddyman98 correctly concluded, this dime was struck by heavily worn dies. There are no other contributing factors.
SmokinJoe, what type of solution did you use?
This 1964 cent was immersed in acid (or some other corrosive solution) for a prolonged period. It is not an error.
The most likely explanation is that the spacing between the lettering die and the spinning impeller was closer than in your comparison specimens....
While I can't comment on the anomalous specific gravity results, the coin has clearly been chemically eroded. The uniformly mushy design and the...
Slight variability in the width of the stripes on the OP's coin are of no relevance, and the small lamination flap on Kentucky's coin is simply a...
Kentucky's image does show a retained lamination peel. It's the only cent I've encountered with purported roller stains that is associated with a...
Since it's merely a stain, there's no reason why the lines should be raised or incuse. Also, any microscopic deviation in height could be...
I am in full agreement with those who have diagnosed the OP's coin as having roller marks (roller stains). This effect is quite common in...
As far as I'm concerned all Rockwell planchet test marks are dubious, including the 1971-S cent whose image was reproduced here. That page on...
As most others have concluded, this is an example of intentional die abrasion.
"Incomplete planchet" is also a flawed term in that it's terribly non-specific. There are many ways for a planchet to be incomplete -- curved...
Paddyman98 is correct. This is a formerly encased cent. An edge that resembles a bicycle tire rim is a dead giveaway.
Separate names with a comma.
