Two type of errors

I guess there are two types of errors:

Types of coins that no one wanted made and types made with errors in coins no one wanted.

I think I've got both here.

Any value to it?

It looks like a lamination to me I don't think it's a strike thru and a nice error indeed,yes there's a value to it but not sure it's seems to be an extreme one

appears to be struck through grease to me.

 

I think Dutch if it was a greased filled die it would have taken some of the devices out and there's no indication of that.
Look at the raise area I posted in red arrow a plating issue there's a lump there

Tryin to learn the difference

I'm trying to learn how to tell the difference.

I was thinking lamination because of the lack of metal. I thought lack of detail meant struck through.

Anyway, I got this in change at the post office stamp machine. Guess I'll have to use up my SBA's next time I buy stamps and keep this one. Bummer today was I dropped and broke open my old bank roll from 1979 and guess I'll spend tonight looking for the close rim. Nobody has much use for my 30 yr old stash of SBA's other than the USPS and some parking meters.

 

Whatever you do keep that golden dollar it's a nice error and it's worth something but like I said I don't know the premium on the coin.

nice find
Joe

 

I intend to put it in a flip and set it aside until someone wants it more than me. Right now I find it a fun coin.:smile

 

a very thin layer of grease will give this look, I guess I just don't think lamination's are very common on modern clad coinage.

IMHO this is definitely grease or some sort of strike through, there is a slight loss of detail in the date you can see this by comparing the second 0 to the last one. I just don't see a lamination here.

 

You all maybe right.
Or may it was a bad planchet before it was struck

 

Anything is possible when it comes to metal alloys it could very well be a plating issue.

I have serveral Jefferson nickels 2006 with that look maybe twenty or so. But not as extreme as the OP's ,and it;s a lamination issue my nickels. I would post one but my scanner doe's not pick up the details unfortunitly.

I respect your opinion Dutch that;s cool you think it;s a grease strike thru OK ,but not me.

Joe:high5:

 

I lightened it up. Hope it helps you to see the struck through, something got between the die and coin.

 

That could be the remaining metal form the plating from the lamination error, look also at the face you could also see some weird metal problems I showed it in black this time Try to underatand the concept

Joe

 

I rember reading in Coin World late in 2000.about the New Golden Dollar having planchet problems
That why I posted that.

 

How could you say definate Dutch, I never say that OH BOY
There are serveral lamination golden dollars that are slabbed on Heretage as well. Look it up Dutchman.I guess you are thinking i'm making all this up too ,OH BOY:rolling:

www.HeretageHa.com I think you could get there from this link not sure otherwise Look up Golden dollar lamination problems ETC ETC ETC.

I did a couple of quick searches through heritage... I searched for the term lamination. And searched back through 2001.. I only found one example of this type on a golden dollar the the pictures don't help much. So as for there being several examples... I don't see em.

I shouldn't say definitely... but I have definitely not seen a lamination that looks like the OP's coin.

 

So does that mean one like the op's does not exsist in the lamination error world?
Please answer my question
.dd::rolling: You said that modern golden dollars are not know to have plating problem :headbang:and I gave you prove .

Now you are saying that you never seen one like the op's coin
Well here's possible prove of a extreme lamination on a Golden dollar coin now you may have seen oneBut I think it is a lamey You notice i don't say definate


JCencil:

 

yes, because this is a strike through and not a lamination.

If you read back that is not what I said. I said "I guess I just don't think lamination's are very common on modern clad coinage."

I was saying I have never seen a LAMINATION that is like the OP's coin. once again, not a lamination...

 

I still suspect a strike thru. If it were a lam. error wouldn't the peeling expose the material underneath? Isn't it copper?

 

.dd::rolling: You said that modern golden dollars are not know to have plating problem :headbang:and I gave you prove .

I must have missed something here, I didn't see any proof that you spoke of. Were you dreaming.
