Waffle coin - canceled coin

Hi together, my english is very weak so I just use google translator.

I collect canceled coins and would like to show some of them here, to discuss and hear different opinions. I live in Germany so most of canceled coins are from Germany.

welcome to CT, thats a nice variety of waffles..

 

I have noticed that each country uses different methods of canceling coins. It is very interesting. Your coins look more like a true waffle than the way the US cancel their coins. Great images. Thanks for sharing!

 

@Seattlite86 do you have any canceled German coins? You might like these that are shown.

 

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Do you get most of your waffled coins from the Mint or do you find them online?

Here are a few of my favorite waffles from my own collection -

 

Wow NGC, so much for consistency (Mint Error, Genuine, Brilliant Uncirculated...)

 

You have a beautiful collection of cancelled coins! Welcome to CT.

 

Thanks for the tag! I do own a set of canceled DEM coins. The others are new to me. Thanks for the tag.

Willkommen zu CoinTalk @waffle-friend ! Es gibt tatsächlich viele von uns, die in Deutschland wohnen (@micbraun @Rheingold @blackarrow @Eduard @chrisild ). Wenn du je Fragen hast, wären wir dabei! Ich habe nie entwertete Münzen aus dem Weimar Republik gesehen. Sehr toll!

 

Great collection you got there! But ... but ... canceled silver collector coins? Man, that hurts.

Tschüs,

@Seattlite86 - I don't think that is a waffled coin from the Weimar Rep.: In 1999 the city of Weimar was European Cultural Capital, and a 10 DM coin was issued on that occasion.

Edit - Here are three DM pieces that went through a "Decoiner" (a canceling machine made by VDN Eurocoin).

Waffling is very interesting, because it represents acceptable and collectable mutilation. It helps that the mint does the actual mutilation, of course, and not people with hacksaws or steamrollers. Plus they are not errors, they are intentionally altered coins done for a purpose. Waffled coins stand in a strange gap between errors and damaged coins. They are their own category and don't really fit anywhere else. For that they're very fascinating.

 

The other thing about a waffled coin is you know it's an actual error. May never be able to tell WHAT kind of error, but it's not some parking lot find.

 

Those are cool!

 

Interesting collections of waffles. Thanks for sharing.

 

That's so cool!! I only have one!

 

Welcome. Very nice collection of cancelled coins.

 

One more than me Shrews. Every time I see one the dealer wants a small fortune for it.

 

Welcome to CT. Nice collection. Thanks for the post.
