<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2726128, member: 87186&quot;]I learned a whole bunch reading the article about how mint die errors can be created. Thanks for those articles, although a couple are no longer available (getting 404 error). I wanted to try the quiz but also got the same 404 page unavailable response. So I decided to do a self-examination. Here are a few photographs and this student&#039;s guestimate about what type of die error mark they may be.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Photo 1</b>- 1992 cent (top)&nbsp; Date: Singe strike, flat field?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mint mark: Double strike, flat field?</p><p><br /></p><p>(p.s. As I was posting this, I noticed what appears to be a number &quot;2&quot; floating in there. I went and examined the coin again, checked other photographs and, yep, it sure looks like a 2 - but it is not the same type of &#039;2&#039; in the date).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]618805[/ATTACH] </p><p>-----------------------</p><p><b>Photo #2</b>&nbsp; - 1988 cent -&nbsp; Date: Machine doubling (strike) damage?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mint mark:&nbsp; Double strike flat field?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]618782[/ATTACH] </p><p>--------------------------</p><p><b>Photo #3</b>&nbsp; UNITED:&nbsp; Ejection doubling </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AND hub doubling counter clockwise?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Monument: Machine strike doubling damage?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]618795[/ATTACH] </p><p>--------------------------</p><p><b>Photo #4</b> - ONE = Plating split doubling?&nbsp; No..wait...no...maybe it&#039;s single strike flat field?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]618800[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t wait to hear what you guys think about these die marks and the &quot;floating 2&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
