Hi Folks, Found this one in a US Mint Roll I call it. "I Left My Heart In West Virginia and I Ain't Going Back cause They Took My Money and They Don't Have Coin Machines ANY MORE" Anyway, Can someone tell me as to what this type error is and rename it please? Thanks
Daggerjon..coin is from sealed mint box..I had two sets and opened both, so far only this one.. Philly Dog..I like that A Clash Of Hearts..did some research on the bridge the reverse The New River Gourge and it seems there is a lot of bungee jumpers off of it. Interesting if nothing else.
it might be from a sealed box, but since the coins leave the mint to a 3rd party to be rolled (you said 'Hi Folks, Found this one in a US Mint Roll') ... since the coins are rolled by a 3rd party, it is possible to still be post mint damage ...
Daggerjon...Not post mint..there are to many of these type coins (shiny..starburst..etc.) in quarters and the new prez dollars for this to be post and not all show the same effect..some simular. My opinion is mint of what sorts not sure..but sure is an interesting coin. Thanks
Lol, that is cool! I find these, except not like that. I thought they were a type of strike thru? Not sure. But anyways, nice find. Phoenix
the stary pattern on the prez dollars is an abstract design caused by mysterious external forces (even if at the mint), but on this coin, its a dang heart lol, not an abstract design ... so i only offer my opinion
I think they call it a Clad peel, some refer to is as Lamination peel! However, since it it only affects the Cladding and not the Copper inner core, then I believe that Clad peel is more appropriate! Although I have not seen a solid explanation for this type of error, it may have been caused by the planchets being too warm when they enter the Striking Chamber and the Die(s) being too cold. Thus the Cladding sticks to the cold Die(s) during the striking (minting) process and some is lifted (removed) from the coin (planchet). This is not Post-Mint damage as this type of error or whatever you want to call it, can be found on many of the coins found in Mint bags! Frank
It's struck through obstructing matter. Probably hardenened, cooked lubricant or a mixture of grease and metal dust. These are often called "grease strikes". They're rather common.
A lamination error implies that some of the metal has peeled up. A strike-through error is when the coin is struck through foreign matter. This WV quarter falls into the latter category.
Mike, Is-Are--sorry never went to scool..is this the same type effect we are looking at in the new prez dollars-starburst etc. Thanks
Starburst is entirely different. It's not a strike-through error or a lamination error. Opinions differ as to its cause, but I believe it's most likely due to breakdown of a surface treatment or coating. Perhaps a rust inhibitor.
