cardscoins Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Hi Everyone, This is my first post. A Newfoundland 1946 10 cent coin recently came into my collection that I believe may be an error minting. Find attached photos of this coin, note the top of the coin on both the face and reverse. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1029.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1024.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1022.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1021.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1015.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd333/cardscoins/n1010.jpg Thank you for your time, cardscoins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 It *might* be a lamination (top obv), but hard to say - the top of the reverse looks like it had solder remains, and I'm wondering what's with all the green stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I agree. It appears to be damage and not an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatedUnderwear Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Kinda sounds like unless you take it from a fresh roll from the mint the people on this board wont say it's an error But it does look like damage too me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I don't know about others, but I've been collecting for 50 years. If you want my opinion, great. If you don't, that's fine with me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, ones coins are "out there", there's lots that can happen to make it look like there may be some sort of problem/flaw/error. The most common example is coins (particulary quarters) that have been used in slot machines often have their reeding worn off, leading a non-collector to think that it may be some sort of plain edge error.
