I'm a little baffled about that error, but if it's real I'll be your first customer.
Sounds exciting and wish I could help with that picture deal-I'm not very good with it.

 

if you like i will email u a few pic and u can tell me what u thank

 

Here's a bigger version of two of his pictures.

 

so what do u thank ?

 

I think it is NOT a mint error.

Here is my version.But I have been wrong before.

 

Hey RARECOINS22,

Are the extra letters on your coin concave or converse? Sticking in or out?

 

How is this guy always "finding" these coins with the same errors?

 

It's not a mint error. These are commonly referred to as "hammer jobs", "vise jobs", "squeeze jobs", and "sandwich jobs". Your coin was squeezed between two other cents. This can happen inside or outside the mint, but the effects are indistinguishable. Post-strike damage is post-strike damage.

 

The one I made was 3 cents duct taped together around the rim and a hard blow from a 35# dumbell. Didn't even change it's size.:goof:

 

One question though, is it possible to have something like that happen during strike? like the coin gets struck and somehow falls back into the die and gets struck again at a different angle?

 

Errors such as you describe are well-known but they have a totally different appearance. The introduction of a second coin into the striking chamber increases the effective striking pressure dramatically. The coin will show signs of greatly increased striking pressure. It will show "finning" of the rim if struck in-collar, and massive expansion if struck out-of-collar. Moreover, it is very rare for there to be a brockage on both faces, while this is the normal state of affairs for squeeze jobs.

 

It is actally quite common for coins to have ghosting coming through to the other side of the coin.It would have to have been struck very hard to get ghosting coming through.

Aidan.

 

thanks once again for the help the last fake coin i got i put it in the trash where it should be the 1965 25 cent error so do the same on this right>?

 

You're confusing this fake with die clash. Die clash will show incuse, mirror-image reverse design elements on the obverse and incuse, mirror-image obverse design elements on the reverse. This fake shows obverse-on-obverse. Also, the appearance is entirely different.
