<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1104654, member: 29239"]I agree with you 100% about what you say and you seem to be a knowlegable coin person. I'm 100% sure that what I said about both types of these error coins did come from the same matched set of dies for different reasons. What first clued me into investigating this was the fact that both of these type errors are always found together in the same mint roll. another clue is the bison clash marks above Jefferson's nose of the peeing bison indicates that this obverse die was also a clashed die before the heavy polishing .surely the mint workers would not polish the obverse die and still replace the reverse die with another defective die. In the photos you just can not see the polishing marks where the clash marks were ground off the det. leg coin. It shows a beautiful heavily ground and polished perfect level surface on the coin even right where the design is missing on the bison's chest, belly and hind leg. it was so heavily ground and polished that the E in e pluribus unum has a trail ot the E from the grinding and looks like someone slid the E across the coin..I'm almost sure if I look close enough that I can find a die marker left on the coins on the reverse side if we want really get technical. does anyone else know of two types of error coins that can be proven to have come from the same die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
