<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PacificFleet, post: 4036363, member: 110337&quot;][ATTACH=full]1059849[/ATTACH] As a new member I have not been able to locate a thread discussing RNR errors from this past year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please advise if such a thread is in motion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Having invested a great deal of energy toward the River of No Return ATB 2019-2020 release and set it has been great to share some positive findings here.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>First off, being here in Hawaii the vast majority of coins are from Denver. Being that Denver is well, um better than Philidelphia in terms of respective quality control and/or quality assurance it adds energy required to track down these errors and find ATB variety/error coins. Like the W variety, I have as of yet, not obtained a single one at face value in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am in correspondence with two others who have suceeded with me in locating and identifying a particulary special variety of Error. In searching this forum and online error listings I have found no record of the coin other than of course the other two individuals. I intend that this thread be the principle source of knowledge for River of No Return: Bird in the Tree (RNR BITT) Error coins as they are less than a year old and are continuing to be tracked down, bought, and discovered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Estimated current population is less than 20 and the ratio for finding is 1:428, but figures will stabilize over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>If enough of these are out there it might just become a &quot;Type 2&quot;&nbsp; &quot;Type 3&quot; version of the coin, if the presses were run not knowing they were different.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other documented expensive RNR errors already ranging to the $1K range strike-throughs to 2 known examples of aggressive line-damage metal damage hitting the die. Less valuable examples currently posted elsewhere are die cracks at the lower half of the reverse and post-strike pre-collector processing machine ring damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>My evaluation is that this one was either a special die or that something happened that damaged the machine at the point of the tallest tree, forming the bird cud. </p><p><br /></p><p>Error/Variety nomanclature selected based on actual birds present in the River of No Return Wilderness.</p><p><br /></p><p>The golden eagle example in my possession looks like a scaled-down version of the Peace Dollar reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is real. It is replicated, and it is very cool.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>+1 to Philadelphia Mint![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
