[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4272666, member: 10461"]Neat stuff. I'm no error specialist, but here are my comments: [INDENT]Interesting that the piece of foreign debris from the strikethrough on the British coin remains, and didn't get lost when it detached. Error on a [I]gold[/I] coin? Yeah, you [I]bet[/I] it's worth getting certified. Gold + Error = Nice To Have. ;) I'm unfamiliar with what kind of off-center strike that nickel is- never seen one with that oddly beveled/shifted appearance. It's rather dramatic, and nice as such. I suspect it is a relatively modern nickel from the '90s or later, just guessing from the engraving style of the portrait. The 1951 cent is really neat- lucky that you actually got most of the date on the flan, there. Just a smidgen further off center, and it would have been a mystery! The hint of pinkish color is icing on the cake. It's also refreshing to see an o/c cent that's not a Memorial, but a Wheatie.[/INDENT][/QUOTE]
