belg_jos Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I bought this coin as an offcenter strike. Only one side was shown in the auction. Now is my question: Is this error easier/harder to find then an offcenter strike? This coin is in coin alignment and you can see that the top of CINQUENTA has been weakly struck. I like this one very much, whatever your answers may be Regards Jos from Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 If you noticed in ebay, they seem to have PLENTY of Mexican error coins and the type of errors can vary vastly. It just shows the bad minting practise in Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows the bad minting practise in Mexico Yes I've noticed that too. That's why I bought some of Mexico. All errorcoins are gorgeous, and for those prices, they are really hard to resist. I have now about a dozen of Mexican ones. But this one popped out, as the difference between te 2 dies is quite big. I never have seen a larger misalignment on any other coin anywhere ever, so I just wondered if someone else had seen this before on Mexican coins. Normally it's about 2-3%, but this one is 5-6% (I guess) This is all still quite new for me, especially worlderrors. But I'm getting there, step by step Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
