[QUOTE="Siggi Palma, post: 1020737, member: 18255"][b]A new Die-State varity found on a Icelandic coin[/b] Good morning everyone, I would like to introduce you all to a new [SIZE=2]Die-State variety[/SIZE] hat was discovered this summer. I have been looking into Icelandic varietys for about 6 moths now and this is the first discoverey that was made. There are seviral others that have been found and are in the process of confermation. Varities have never been a big part of the Icelandic coin colleting history. This part of the Icelandic numismatic world is for the most parts underscovered. The coin in question P#16 Diameter 30 MM Weight 12.5 Material Copper-nickel Here you have a normal 1968 50 Krónur [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/11-6.jpg[/IMG] The weak die varietie [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/1-23.jpg[/IMG] You can see in the following the difference in the d[SIZE=2]ie-State [/SIZE]varitie. Most of the detail over the windows, doors and flag pole is missing. This is been confirmed by looking over loads off these coins. And around 50% have this weak die. Confirming that this was a life of one die. 100.000 of these were minted. And a normal life of a die if i´m correct is about 50.000 coins. Details of the varitie and the normal die Flag pole obverse [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/4-10.jpg[/IMG] Door and windows on the obverse [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/3-11.jpg[/IMG] Reverse dominination with a weak zero at the 5 o,clock possision [IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee209/siggipalma/5-4.jpg[/IMG] As always any questions and remarks are welcomed Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
