If it is a true error, as NGC decided, it would more accurately be noted as a retained strike through. The reeding fragment is still there....
The medal was probably "antiqued" as issued. If you're not a fan of the surfaces as they are now, try re-applying an antiqued finish.
Didn't mean to be secretive about mine. :) Here it is. It's very difficult to get a good picture of it through a very scuffy slab. It is just as...
Yep, a minor one, but still a cud.
Interesting error. To me it looks like the nickel layer was absent and not a folded over piece of copper. While it is an interesting error. I...
Cool find. About a $10 error IMO.
They're hard to find but not all that rare. Off center buffs from the 30's are probably the most common, too. Still, you don't see them all that...
It's some form of post-strike damage. I can't tell exactly how it was done from the pictures, but it was definitely done after it was struck.
I agree. And a bit of a stretch strike as well which is something somewhat typical of an off center uniface strike.
Looks like a rim burr. Cool find!
Yeah, i think it's some sort of restriction within the press. You see it all the time on double and triple struck quarters from 1999 to 2009. It's...
I agree. It looks like a flip over double struck in collar error. I think it's just as cool, but this one being a striking error instead of a die...
It's a die clash for sure, but it looks like there might be a strong counterclash as well (the doubling on the obverse). Wait for one of the...
I also like to use Post Strike Damage instead.
This is actually post-strike damage, commonly called a dryer coin.
Ah yes, sorry. Edge lettering, not doubled edge lettering. Wasn't thinking clearly.
The seven in the date of the Kennedy half was distorted due to the lack of metal which lead to the outward flow of the metal as the planchet...
I believe pcgs offered $10,000 reward for the first sacagawea dollar with doubled edge lettering. They did not know for sure that there would be...
One million dollars? No really, you need to be more specific. What error, what year, and what condition??
That is not always the case, especially with errors where slabbing doesn't always add value. (in this case it would) So fast to point the...
Separate names with a comma.
