Of course, the term "die adjustment strike" is untenable as it is impossible to determine whether the weakness is due to the coin being an escapee...
It would be considered a "struck-through" error or a "filled die" error.
Although the photos are not ideal, I'm inclined to think that this is a genuine, in-collar, first-strike brockage. The strong finning of the...
There are other die dents -- curved and straight -- that have also produced pressure ridges. They're entirely accidental.
Your memory is faulty. I've never characterized these as die gouges.
It's most likely a cent struck on a planchet punched out of rolled-thin stock.
Actually, the "extra leaves" are curved die dents. Whether they are accidental or intentional cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.
It would not be worth slabbing, in my opinion. Its value is likely to be in the $25 - $35 range.
Siggi sent me an e-mail asking for my opinion on the coin seen at left. This is the first time I've seen the image. It's not a curved clip or a...
Looks like heavy die wear to me.
It shows the characteristic diagnostics of a retained cud. The internal margin shows vertical displacement and the design sits on a low plateau....
The featureless bulge on the obverse is not a rim cud. It's a cud, pure and simple.
This is a generic capped die strike. Your coin was struck through a late-stage die cap.
This doesn't look like a struck-in or a rolled-in object. There is no fissure surrounding the metal and it appears that it might dive beneath the...
As others have indicated, the coin at the top of this thread shows post-strike damage. Rascal's coin was vandalized as well.
Rotated die errors are quite common among 1864 2c pieces. Even ones with medal alignment are not all that rare.
Weighing the coins, and comparing them to normal comparison specimens, would be a start.
I think both specimens are questionable. Perfect impressions of the denticles and design rim are seldom, if ever seen in genuine examples.
As others have said, it's it's a partial collar/broadstrike with faint clash marks.
This is one of at least eight shattered obverse (anvil) dies known among 2007-P dimes. There are several stages in the breakdown of this...
