belg_jos Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 This is my new purchase. I had seen this type struck offcenter before, but never this far off. 25%-30% ? Anyhow, a great addition to my collection Regards Jos from Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg_jos Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Well, this is one of my greatest additions to my collection. This is a 1 frank coin from 1955, Flemish version (Dutch, KM # 143.1). Normally is this coin in coppernickel, but it has been struck on a copper planchet of the 50 centimes coin (type Minor, KM # 148). If anybody has something similar for sale/trade, let me know.

Burks Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 You have some amazing errors. The color on the above coin is very pleasing to the eye, I bet even more so in person. I find the 1922 Dutch Legends coin to be especially cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 You have some amazing errors. The color on the above coin is very pleasing to the eye, I bet even more so in person. I find the 1922 Dutch Legends coin to be especially cool. Yes, it is a really great coin. I paid a lot for it, but I simply had to have it (sometimes you have that feeling ) In errors it's even more difficult to let something escape. All I encounter, I end up buying... I've scanned two other off center punched centerholes for you. (but also for everybody else ) 5 centimes 1910 Dutch legends (coppernickel): 25 centimes 1946 French/Dutch legends (Zinc): The 5 centimes is also one of my favorites, because of the floating piece of metal. Really nice Thanks for your comment Regards Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Those are great! Looks like the results of me trying to use a paper hole punch without guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg_jos Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 This was my very first errorcoin I bought. No regrets! This is the medallic issue of the 5 Centimes 1856 French, a tiny bit offcenter. Regards Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Great site! I have to say the copper die breaks were my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Great site! I have to say the copper die breaks were my favorite. I have replaced all the pictures from Omnicoin by my own. So the die breaks should be even clearer The big copper ones (5 centimes) aren't that easy to find. They are much easier and common on the coppernickel coins. Regards Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Since my time at CP, I've seen a bunch of coins with diebreaks running tangentially through legends. I'd love to know the premium of one of those and find one for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
