error coin 1/2 anna 1835 hi, i have shown a comparision between the error coin(1st coin in the scan) and the regular coin obverse,just for collectors to see. the actual obverse error is the first coin in the scan or on the left side. It has been struck by hub that is why ,it looks like that. check this for other scan http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=38628 thanks
I repeat my question which you didn't answer with additional clarification. Have you reversed (flipped left to right) the "hub" struck image? I ask because if you haven't then this definitely is NOT struck from a hub. Frankly I don't think you have and that this is the result of simple corrosion. I have a 1798 S-152 large cent that has had the reverse corroded in the same way. If you haven't flipped the image there is an important clue that proves it isn't from a hub. Notice the date still reads from left to right. If this was struck from a hub the date would read 5381 (with the digits reversed of course, I don't have a font that will do that.)
