<p>[QUOTE=&quot;djmarkos, post: 389824, member: 3045&quot;]Hello,</p><p>I have had several of these California P Error Coins in my collection but to my knowledge they have never become a popular Error Coin.&nbsp; Having said that, I have not seen any with the same exact errors either like the giant CUD on top of John Muir&#039;s Hat.&nbsp; Many people named this coin the Halo-Hat Coin because of the appearance of a Halo created by what looks like a Clashed Die.&nbsp; Now if you look at the N in JOHN and the lower part of the 8 in 1850, you will see 2 more CUDS.&nbsp; About 1/3 way down the Mountain you can see another Clashed Die which can give the appearance of a Moon Rising over the Mountain.&nbsp; The Moon Rising is another name used to describe these coins.&nbsp; The pictures do not show the greatest example of this Moon illussion and some coins are much better examples than others.&nbsp; Going to the Obverse now:&nbsp; The R in TRUST is filled as one can see.&nbsp; And, the lower part of Washington&#039;s Bust has a rather large Die Crack that goes down to the U in QUARTER.&nbsp; Some of these coins display Machine Doubling on parts of the Obverse and some have 2 Clashed Die on the Mountain to give the illussion of 2 Moons on the Reverse.&nbsp; The second Moon is very close to the ground.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the long post but I really want to know why these coins never made it off the ground in the Error world.&nbsp; To me, that giant CUD on the Hat should make this coin somewhat popular but I guess I could be wrong...or am I the only person that has these?&nbsp; I really doubt that!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any and all comments,&nbsp; Dave M.</p><p><br /></p><p>**I hope the pictures turned out OK![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
