<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 3604951, member: 81991&quot;]I found this coin at my coin dealers while looking through some tokens. The 2x2 said “5¢ on 25¢ platchet”, 1964 sil. (Yes, platchet) The 2x2 may have been reused as it has an extra set of staple holes in it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Photos have been difficult to get, I had to take most freehand and use low light angles to show the low reliefs, which caused some glare.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The coin weighs in at 5.0g and is approximately 22.7 x 23.7 in dia. I can only speculate that this got caught up in a Capped Die coin jam of some kind. This coin has been struck at least 6 times that I can determine.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;First strike must have been a Partial Collar Strike due to the 360° doubled In Collar/ Out Of Collar lipped edge, and made the first Obverse and Reverse. The Reverse is the In Collar side. The date from this first strike is barely readable as 1964.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]965055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965057[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>The obverse was restruck with the reverse die at a 180° angle, I say this because the bottom of Monticello is raised above Jefferson’s face as it goes across it. I have been able to make out the E PL of E Pluribus Unum at the bottom of T J’s bust, the letters are there but they are stretched and flat and barely show any relief.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]965059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965060[/ATTACH] </p><p>The Reverse has been restruck most prominently with the obverse die at a 90°angle and off-center about 10%. Below Monticello is where most of the legible words are.&nbsp; The words IN GOD are struck over and between the words OF AMERICA and CENTS of the first strike. These are also in low relief but are quite readable. I have been able to make out 3 D’s and 2 W’s under the right corner of the Monticello due too multiple strikes. The eye, nose, and chin of TJ is visible on the reverse side, his chin lines up with the O in GOD. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]965062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965063[/ATTACH] </p><p>full reverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]965067[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Thanks for your interest in error coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
