Great find! They are related to each other, with the one obviously being the pre-cud die crack and the second the cud. A neat set! I would say...
Nice die break! It's not worth anything, but it can be fun to cherrypick coins like that. Jon
It's too bad it's not struck on a split planchet before strike. 90% silver U.S. split planchets are very rare, and undervalued in my opinion! Jon
Unless they identified the error type, it would be called and "underweight" planchet. Jon
Rolled Thin The coin is a genuine mint error, I believe, but why it is thin and underweight is the question. My guess is that it is struck on a...
Struck through split planchet I agree with Mike's diagnosis. I like this error type personally. In case you're wondering, I would say the coin is...
Nice large die crack, and it's neat to have two coins from the same die. Jon
It's grease filled. Jon
Ben, You will find both standards out there. PCGS judges clips by weight, most error dealers do not, but judge by the visual method (as an error...
Some people calculate off-center % based upon how much design is missing, and others do it based on how much planchet is visible. I prefer how...
There is also a "blanking die" which is a die with no design which is used to punch the blanks out of the planchet strip. If the die has a part of...
Bill, What happens to a blank which is punched out of the metal strip by a blanking die which has broken off a piece of it's die surface? What...
The cud occurred before the coin was struck, and was on the blank itself. The blanking die broke causing a raised area of metal on the blank. When...
It looks like a "rolling fold", which is from the blanking die creating a cud on the unstruck planchet, and with the cud then being struck into...
Actually, I'm 99% sure it's a rim burr. The copper appears to be exposed, and the "torn" piece of metal is visible under the lettering. Nice...
I believe this is the mintmark style for nickels of this year. I know on Lincoln cents, from 1975-1979, the mintmark has the square, blob-like...
It's not an error, but was smashed by something. Jon
It looks to me like someone whizzed it, but the area in the 3rd photo is from where the coin was being held by something (perhaps pliers or...
I would estimate the value to be between $3-$8. Jon
It is a partial collar strike. The coin was not fully in the collar (which gives the coin its reeded edge) when it was struck, which is why the...
