The coin shows nice clash marks. Unfortunately, the obverse is suffering from severe post-strike damage. The puffy letters, heavily scratched...
This is definitely post-strike damage, specifically impact damage. The coin was also re-plated before or after the damage was inflicted.
I very much enjoyed seeing these errors. Keep 'em coming.
I'm on the fence on this one. It could be a very unusual struck-through error. However, if the design is warped (rather than simply obscured)...
I have no idea who you're talking about or how my observations relate to anything this "Jamez" has said.
I haven't found any sandwich job in a PCGS slab, but I have found other fakes, including a resized nickel slabbed as a wrong planchet error and a...
I wouldn't necessarily be harder on ICG than the other services. I've detected squeeze jobs in NGC and ANACS slabs. It doesn't happen very...
I wasn't able to borrow the coin from the seller, but he got a credit from NGC. It was an "enhanced error". Someone took a genuine broadstrike...
If the weight is normal, the coin perfectly round, and the reeding unaffected, then it could be an unusual struck-through error affecting both dies.
The coin that opened this thread is a squeeze job. A few months ago I also spotted one in an NGC slab. A slab is no guarantee of authenticity.
I guess Ken is using "plate shift doubling" in place of "plating disturbance doubling". "Split plating doubling" is okay.
There's no such thing as "plating shift doubling". Perhaps you're thinking of plating disturbance doubling. In this case, however, we're dealing...
It happens all the time. I've had a few columns dealing with clashed cap strikes over the past few months in Coin World.
This is a clashed cap strike, a type of brockage. A late-stage die cap clashed directly with the reverse die, picking up a fresh image on its...
It's the first double denomination error I've seen involving a Georgia quarter struck over a struck nickel. A great rarity that's undoubtedly...
I have trouble visualizing your scenario, Jim. If the coin had been struck through a clad layer derived from a half dollar with a curved clip,...
I am now confident that this is a genuine error of the type I've already descibed. Congratulations on your find.
I've seen uncounted numbers of clad coins (including half dollars) struck through detached clad layers. The result is a mushy design that tends...
If the reverse face is normal, then the obverse may have been struck through a detached clad layer. I'm hedging my bets on the identity of the...
It's definitely machine doubling.
