Those presses have been retired. They now use horizontal stroke singe die Schuler presses that run at 750 cycles per minute.
It has been known to happen.
Well since they didn't make a 2009 version there is no reason to stop selling the 2008 coins until they run out. Heck they sold the proof 1999 P...
They also used some tokens made from holed french coin in the prison itself. These are quite scarce to rare. I do have one floating around in my...
Guy I knew in Louisville used to collect them. He used to buy new designs by the roll and trade them with others. He had somewhere between five...
There is nothing wrong with putting a coin in a slightly larger 2X2. In fact I tend to prefer the 2X2 be slightly larger so I can see the edge of...
I have seen a fair number of them. I've even seen thm on flying eagles, indian heads and even a couple of Lincoln wheat cents. I also own a AU...

They had much more trouble with the Colton Brothers planchets that they acquired domestically. Usually they were very pleased with the Boulton...
That would be true, But the operative word is COIN. In this case there was a planchet in the chamber not a second coin. So it is NOT a brockage,...
Another possibility is a "cud" error where a piece of the die has broken away either on the obverse (raised lump on obverse) or on the reverse...
From what I see it is definitely real! It is a full brockage piece and yes it is rather valuable. What happened is the previous coin was struck...
Color is never a reliable indication of composition
The date was moved because it was decided to move the mottos and date to the edge to allow for larger images on the President dollar. Then when...
Looks decent, and the mint should like it because they will be able to flatten the relief almost completely The press relief is kind of...
