I have no clue where I got this. I have a bunch of old foreign coins and I really have no idea where I got them. This one has very neat die break from one part of the rim and intersects to another on the obverse.
Very nice shattered die as Frank has said. I looked in Whitman 1800 - 1964 small world book and there was note about date variety. But no explanation of the variety. May want to study up ??
Always learning!!! Never knew about that "Whitman," thank you very much!!! I will start looking it up
Whitman 1800 thru 1964 world coin book just notes a variety that could mean few things. Style, die variety then their errors that sometimes are not worth time and effort. Best is to find a World Error coin websites that may be the answer.
nice snag.. I think you need to pay more attention to that date area though. Looks like something is going on there.
He'll be back, I talk to him last night about 2:00AM . He did neck surgery not to long ago and isn't feeling to good right now . Get better soon my friend, well be waiting ...
Yes bad neck problems, sry took so long. I didn't know what to make of the date, but I knew it looked unusual on the 8. This is why I took a close shot of it just in case someone would let me know what they think. Thank you! Today is a better day!
you are doing good though right welcome back. The neck problem is looking at to many coins, I feel it now.
Well, my second surgery and I actually am not doing to well. Boy, looking at coins sure doesn't help it.
You have to make some changes now, try to get your image taker ( scope ) more level to your eyes, so you don't have to bend your neck to see what your doing. I sit at my kitchen table and everything is pretty level, I can see what I'm doing without bending my neck to do it . Its looking for coins though a 10x, that will kill your neck ..
Sounds gd, thank you Rick you are great person to have as a friend!!!!! I am going to have to take another break from coin hunting though, hope it's not long, but it doesn't mean I won't stop looking at the threads and post
Take care of yourself and remember, family always first and you know where to find me . May god bless you and your family, always ...
Nice break...and I think the die wear explains the misshapen 8 in the date--it looks like they added just the last digit after hubbing.
