<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pondering_Infinity, post: 3438936, member: 101452&quot;]Hi</p><p>So, I am not even sure what to call this kind of error. This is a 1770 Demi Sol from France, and quite a nice one at that.[ATTACH=full]913093[/ATTACH] Clearly there is a die crack on the reverse, sure I get that.... I may even see a little evidence of doubling, but that is not my quesiton.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look on the reverse you can see that a bit of the metal got caught between the collar and die. It caused a smooshed section that rises up above the reverse of the coin. It comes up about 1/8th of an inch or so. it is very thin, as I say, my guess is that it was caught between things when it was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know what to call such a thing?</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
