Corina Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ok, Bad try at an attack LDM Error #1-Die Crack Error #2 and #4 - rotated die Error #3- Unknown (Best guess Die Fill) Taking this Coin to the Shop For a 7th Look Over By EXPERTS So Far they Agree that It's A Error Coin With At Least Three Errors on it But Who knows They Might Find Some More Errors Oh yes It was already in this shape when i bought the coin in 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corina Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ok, Thanks For pointing that out I'm Not all that good With Error terms And The Rare And Common Errors Either Thanks For Your Input LDM I'll Edit The Major Out Of The topic and Input Minor Oh Also What Happens to a coin With Improper Metal Mixure? Could these Errors Affect The Value of the Coin or Not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Improper metal mixture is just that metals that are not mixed properly.....when metals are mixed they try to take all the impurities out....or unwanted stuff.....sometimes they don't do such a good job when the strips are made for punching....sometimes other "stuff" gets into the planchets causing things like laminations.
