OK, this forum said my 1958 Lincoln with the chip die on the 8 is not any kind of error, how anout my 1941 Lincoln with a slanted 1?
well, a die chip is an error. So, I guess that I missd the post. However, teh slanted 1 is 99.9999999999999% from a chounting machine, that is, post mint damage.
I read that thread and didn't notice anyone saying that your coin was not a error. I will agree with Treashunt on what he said.
I went to take a picture and my wife's camera battery is dead. Will post one later of both the 58 and 41 pennies.
A die chip is not an error. A die chip is an indication of a die stage. The slanted 1 is probably the result of old damage done by a coin counting/wrapping/ machine. It is fairly common. Also, since it is damage, it is not an error. Thanks, Bill
A die chip is an error there was a post here about a month or two ago that these are errors die chips, die breaks, die gouges, Machine doubling, in some cases die deterioratiomn doubling by Mike Diamond . the reason why they are errors because they should not be on the coin in the first place stated by who I mentioned. Your slanted one is from some kind of damage outside the mint. JC
Thanks for the input. What am I suppose to do with the new car I bought thinking this was worth a lot:hail:
Find his post and lead us to it. Chips, gouges, etc. are markers as to a die stage. They are not errors. Thanks, Bill
Chips, gouges, etc are common imperfections in the die. Therefore technically are an error but in most cases carry no numismatic premium beyond serving as markers in attributing dies and determining die state.
It is common in 1941's for some reason, I have a 1941 with the damaged 1. At a coin show I attended a few months ago one of the dealers had like 5 of these and was selling them as "errors". I informed him they were not error coins but damage.....he insisted they were a "variety". LOLOLOL
