[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1661110, member: 15445"][b]Interesting Brazil Rui Barbosa error coin in change.[/b] This Brazil coin includes a special type of cud error. :) In this case, there was a significant misalignment of the obverse die to the collar die which caused the obverse die to be sheared at the edge. Subsequent coins were struck with the broken obverse die and they exhibit this crescent shaped cud. BTW, prior to arriving in Manaus, we were told that the female-to-male ratio in Manaus was 8:1. :eek: While at a Manaus night club I counted the men & women present. It was not 8:1. It was only 5:1.
