Can anyone tell me what's up with this Grant Presidential dollar? Also,would it carry a premium of any kind?Thanks in advance for all replies.-Dennis
Unique for sure, first glance says it's a post mint error but since there's no similar damage on the arm or liberty crown, I'd say it's actual mint error. Lamination type error I'd assume, they get a premium mostly to those collecting such errors. I'm not a big fan of error coins.
That's pretty cool! It looks alittle like die polishing gone wild. I doubt there would be a significant premium, but depending upon the buyer and their interests, you might pull out a little bit. But IMO the premium wouldn't be enough to get me to sell it, I'd just pack it away.
I didn't think that it would carry a high premium,just wanted to find out what it was and really just share it because I think it's cool.I think it should go to someone who would appreciate it,and maybe display it somehow with their collection,it's just not my thing really.I will most likely try to trade it for something that interests me.
This is heavy die polish or should we say grind marks. It is common on our newer coins to find this. the mint workers has removed something from the die , mostlikely they removed some die clash marks because some severly clashed die coins are being found. I have some of these dollar coins that are severley die clashed on both sides with a large part of Libertys crown showing on the obverse side and part of the president showing on the reverse side.
I think I disagree with you on this one because the feeder fingers are usually aluminum and it would be hard for aluminum to scratch tempered steel . I suppose anything is possible though. I do know that the mint workers are always grinding and polishing off the dies to remove things. I have a lot of the most major type of the detached leg bison nickels and a few of the severly clashed die bison nickels that have been positively identified as being from the same set of dies from die markers. the clashed die bison coins are quite rare and the die clash makes the bison look exactly like he is taking a leak. the clash marks were almost totally removed and this took away too much design and created the ultra detached leg coins. The grind marks on this dollar coin is in the same area as the heavy clash mark that folks calls the extra spike is located on the clashed die dollars. either way we know it is from a damaged die.
