Not the DDO for that date
If it's a Frank Spadone Book, it's virtually worthless. Doctored photos, and it lists lots of the minor errors he had in stock, and was selling....
My short reply: it's part of the minting process, like a Weak Strike coin. We don't consider weakly struck coins errors, just weak strikes.
sorry, but it's not a mis-aligned die error. It's damaged - the rims are flattened, by the same event that pressed another coin onto the rim of...
In your other post, you say there's no line in the S. First of all, your post says 1974-D, and the coin is a 1974-S Second, there is a 'hit'...

Most missing outer clad layer coins are from planchets that lost the outer layer before the planchet was struck as a coin. We don't know when...

GE - (new Member) Your '1933' Quarter is NOT an original Mint Issue. The first '3' in your coin has been altered from an '8'. Yes, it says...
It's not
Looks like it's on a slightly rolled thin planchet. Bet the weight is something like 2.9 grams, or thereabouts.
Michael777 - sorry, but the coin above is damaged, and is NOT struck on a Clad Dime Planchet. The weight is co-incidental, the result of the...
I've had 2000-dated cents that are Off Center and Wide AM's. I've also had other mechanical striking errors with recognized Die Varieties on...
