What Error is this?Looks very odd to me...Please Help??Thanks

Never said not to post. But when you post asking for people's opinions, they're going to give them to you. Some of them may very well disagree with yours. Only way to prevent people from giving you opinions you don't like is not to ask for them.

If you're so sure it's an error not sure why you bothered soliciting people's opinions. But hey, it's a free country, you have the right to express your opinion. But everyone else has that right too. And sometimes their opinions will disagree with yours. To post is to invite comments. You don't want comments, don't post. You're right, you can post where you want when you want. So can we.

Heh. I admire the patience of our moderators and administrators, but I have to imagine you'll be reaching its limit soon.

 

and now im done:thumb:

 

your just talking to your self about me

 

really its just a coin I found for 5 cents

 

It may very well have been struck with a deteriorated die, but that's still not an error, as the mint takes no intentional steps to prevent it as long as it's struck reasonably well. If the die actually chipped or broke, then you have an error. Most of what you're seeing with this coin though is just heavy post-mint damage.

You think it's interesting, keep it. I have many coins in my collection I think are interesting that aren't worth much.

 

Well it's worth that much at least, so you broke even.

 

I read this like 6 times and I still have no idea what is written...


OP, Your coin is damaged and worth 5 Cents. Keep looking though.

 

Typing fast

 

Sir,

Nobody here minds if you disagree. You are allowed to be wrong if you want too.

I think your first misstep of your rationalization, is thinking that by posters here saying it is PMD, we are saying it was caused by a freak accident. This coin has suffered a lot of damage and was obviously not a "dropped" or "ran over" coin.

 

I then ask you again, if you are so sure it is not damaged, how it happened at the mint.
Disagreements are bound to happen. It is, however, in your own power as to how you react when faced with a different opinion than yours. You can react by being stubborn, claiming the coin to be something other than what every single member in this thread has said, or you could actually think about how the coin came to be this way. Think of how it could have come out of the mint. That would be a trick question, though, because the coin did not come out of the mint that way. Just think about it. In this case, it just may be in your best interest to listen to those around you.

I agree with the first part about a dryer coin effect. The fold over may have been helped by someone trying to get it back into shape for a coin slot of some kind.

Those are your opinions and I'll respect that, but I do have to disagree. If a coin is ran over in a vehicle multiple times, it will begin to look very worn down, like your coin. If it were ran over it should also accumulate dirt and major dents, which your coin does not show, thus we can eliminate the possibility of it being ran over. It could have easily started to deteriorate over years and years of people handling it and the oils in their hands making it dirty. So, in my opinion, it may have suffered some amount of harm, giving it that "cracked" look, and the years of circulation allowed it to gain the worn down look.
That is my opinion and I hope you can respect it.

Again, please do not insult the membership. No one is intentionally trying to "bug you". We are just speaking our opinions/facts based on observation.
You are not one who can tell me to stop. That is the job of the moderators.
Please do not insult me, I am here to give my opinion on the coin and try to get some answers sorted out.
And you still haven't answered my question, I see.

 

Then I suggest slowing it down.


The coin is whatever you want it to be... the greatest, most valuable error ever? You got it. Congrats.

Just don't spend your millions all in one place

Happy now?

 

Tick tock, your time to answer my question is running out! My patience, on the other hand, does not run out. I'll be here waiting for an answer.

 

cosmic, you asked a question and the very knowledgeable members here gave their thoughts. If you do not agree, then it is best to not argue with the people on this thread, but take the coin to a very reputable dealer or collector in your area and get their thoughts. I know you may not have liked the answers you have received here on if it is an error, but as I said, they are very knowledgeable and are right 99% of the time. Best of luck with the continued coin hunting, it is definitely a fun hobby.

 

The rounded rim is what they were talking about when they said "dryer coin". I had a similar question in this thread http://www.cointalk.com/t220111/

There is other threads online as well showing drying coins.
