willko1 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I dont have a whole lot of knowledge about errors was wondering what this would be classified as. I have it listed on e-bay and want to make sure I am not wrong in my assesment. I will attach some pics and link to e-bay that has more pics and supersized pics. Any and all info greatly appriciated http://cgi.ebay.com/Washington-Dollar-Erro...tem250092558030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 You might wait until someone else answers. And it is hard to see well in the pictures. But at least one of the pictures appears to be more of a scrape. (I.E. mint damage ) Then an error. To me at least it looks like something got hung up during the edge rolling process then it skipped a small section of the "Trust" . Not a die break.

Mark Stilson Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 So what would that be considered? Not sure what it would be called. With first part of the missing letters it looks like it would be a contact mark. The last part where it skips the imprinting process I'm not sure.

BiggAndyy Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Looks like the coin was ejected from the side rolling press prematurely (insert premature ejection joke here). Notice how the first T in where the word TRUST would be is much closer to the letters that precede it and how the gouge is angled downward from the distorted 'T'? That is probably when the coin was either shoved or flung out before the final few letters could be pressed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Looks like a skid mark to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't know if it has a name yet as this edge process is still a new one... It's some sort of edge malfunction... the coin might have become stuck and ground on... who really knows I have seen these before and I doubt that in the end they will have much of a premium at all.

Dockwalliper Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I would have to say its both mint damage and an error. The damaged area causes a shift in the lettering and a large area of the edge without lettering. Not as easy to fake as the "No edge lettering" coins.
