Well a while back I decided to start collecting cool die chip coins with weird errors that affect the actual image of the coin and so i decided to share another one of them with you to see what you all think ... Oh and I'm sure that once you have seen this one ... you too will also be able to see why they are so unique . Just like the vampire fang Washington Quarter I posted . And the extra tree top on the Effigy Washington Quarter . But anyway i personally think this one along with the pimple nose Lincoln are the most coolest of them all . I call it . Buffalo dung . Lol .
Can you stop posting the pictures as a thumbnail, and post them as full images. Takes forever when you have to keep going to another tab, exit, then find the tab again.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/unique And the so-called "vampire fang" quarter isn't a "die chip", nor is it the result of any sort of "weird error", but is simply a well-placed hit iirc. Still, it's an interesting collecting path that should offer many opportunities. Cool choice and the best of luck.
I agree with books. I would keep it though because it is something to look at that's for sure, I have kept many damaged coins, if anything it's a good thing to keep so you can teach someone. Here are some damaged coins I kept. Keep unique damaged coins. Who knows, someone who likes vampires and coins would appreciate that. I'd pay a dollar for it if it looked undeniably like a vampire
Well I'm going to stick to my guns and still disagree with the theory that its PMD from a well placed hit on the vampire coin ... Because you see . No one still has been able to explain how the entire mouth underneath the vampire fang became deformed first since the vampire fang is hanging over the deformed mouth . To me . It seems like no one understands or actually sees that it would most likely take " two strikes " in the same exact location to create such damage not one . One to deform the mouth first and then another one to seal it closed with the vampire fang ... Of course I'm not a expert here but it just makes logical sense since it's more the just the vampire fang that's deformed .
It took me forever to find this thread, but every time I read one of these that go on and on dismissing obvious damage as something awesome, this is the first thing that comes to mind. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1925-mercury-dime-die-clash.239808/ I don't think Carlos ever believed it was damage either!
Yeah, Jewels; it's everyone else that doesn't "understand", again and again and again, but never you. If you would only take the time to read the repeatedly suggested links, or to actually do the very "research" you claim to be so fond of, perhaps we could finally get beyond this tiny, tiny molehill you've pitifully made into a mountain. It's clear you still haven't bothered to familiarize yourself with the minting process as, had you done so, you wouldn't be dreaming of two magical strikes being necessary to "create" the impossible simply because it's what you want to believe. The fact is, Jewels; this is so basic and obvious, no one should have to explain it someone who claims to have spent two years studying his area of interest. Perhaps, since you wish to "stick to your guns", you should explain to us EXACTLY how this could occur, even with "two strikes" unless, perhaps, you consider the first strike to be when the coin was struck, and the second when it received said "well-placed hit".
