gxseries Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I agree. There's a fair bit of his error coins that I have doubts on unfortunately. Not too sure how it's done but there's no way it looks anything similar to a double struck error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKB Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I vote for a mint error. I do not know of a way to produce what I see on the picture at home, or on the train tracks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexbq2 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't know, but a cut pipe springs to mind. How would this happen at the mint? What will flatten the outer rim of a coin like that? If a coin is double struck, the effect would be reversed - skinny coin fat rim crescent.

BKB Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Cannot do it like that. Look at the letters in the depressed area and the detail of the design in the depressed area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Cannot do it like that. Look at the letters in the depressed area and the detail of the design in the depressed area. I honestly have never tried , so I don't know. But I have used those press a penny machines. And they completely squish a 1 cent coin, but even on those rolled coins you can see a distorted image of what it use to be. I will guess that stamping an edge of a coin will somewhat distort and level down the relief of design elements but not destroy them (is that's what you meant). But what part of the minting process would produce such defect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
