<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 269536, member: 1242&quot;]I am pretty sure that this is an legitimate error and is caused by exactly what the Seller stated! This error is identical to the overzealous polishing and grinding done to some of the Doubled Die Dies used in minting the Minnesota &quot;P&quot; Quarters to polish/grind out any evidence of any &quot;Extra Tree&quot; on the coins.&nbsp; Apparently there is either Doubled Die doubling or Die Clashing on some of the Dies and the Mint worker(s) tried to erase any evidence of such! I have quite a few of the Minnesota &quot;Doubled Die&quot; Quarters and others with similar Die Polishing/Grinding marks on them as on this Jefferson Dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found two Jefferson Dollar error coins! One looks like it was struck with a Pitted Die (but apparently has another cause) as the area around Jefferson&#039;s right eye and looks like he suffered a bad beating. The other has the same error as the first but also has spots (which are spotty) with lamination separations on Jefferson&#039;s right cheek and to the West and Southwest in the fields (as you are viewing it). At first I thought they might be gouges (Post Mint damage) but after closer inspection, you can see that something caused the surface of the coin to peel away but in little spots or pockets. My guess is that for some reason, portions of the surfaces of the coin actually stuck to the Die in the minting process and lifted these spots off of the coin. I will try to get some pictures of the coin and post them here or on Photobucket with a link to this Thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
