I looked this up on the internet and believe it is a 1977 1 Baht, also saw it as a 5 Baht, anyway it looks like may be a cracked die showing on both the observe and reveres sides. Any thoughts? Anyone in the Denver metro area that knows a good good coin shop that I can take it to? Thanks
Die cracks occur when the Dies used to strike the blank planchets are overused. It happens to many coins from all countries.
Yes I understand this, so what you are saying is there is no such thing as an error coin? Because, let's face it,EDIT Language happens fall into the die every now and again, so a struck through also happens when happens fall into the the die, and struck on wrong planchets are just when someEDITEDhappens to load the wrong plachet into the machine? Guess it's all just normal stupidity and it means nothing so there really is no meaning to error coins?
Relax buddy.. Wrong attitude.. I've been collecting mint errors for 36 years. They are all fascinating. You just need to understand that there are different types of levels. Minor, mid and major mint errors. That's all I have to say for now. Good luck.
If it was a US coin , we know how often any of those events can occur, and a collector can offer what they think it is worth on eBay or other source, but even US coins have ranges of value and they change by the significance of the error , location, etc. Now for a foreign coin, most US collectors a. do not collect them, Some do , but not many and B. it is circulated and even the best sample would probably not exceed $5, so you need a dealer that deals in foreign coins. Try online dealers if you want. The error part of such as shown might add 0 - 10% depending on the buyer. I edited your post, please read the rules, Thanks , Jim
