Hi there. Anyone know the name of this error? I can not know how it could have coined that way. If someone is kind enough to give me your opinion would be very grateful. Double strike maybe ?
Greetings.
1) Definitely not double struck (would have image of second strike).
2) Possibly the result of a rusted die (small depression on die would cause raised metal on coin).
3) Most likely a fake: http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=6878.0
Thanks for answering.
3-Definitely not false nor did I see in that post that you mentioned. There are 4 variants in 1995 minted by different countries. So they are different from each other. All are cataloged. The coin that I show also is cataloged. But it is listed as an error and the author does not explain the type of error.
Then we start from the base that is an original coin and has an error.
2-Rusted die ? i dont think so because the coin has parts of the original design duplicated far from the original position which is that part of the design in the original currency.
I have to say that these duplicated parts are in positive relief. If we look closely we see as if the flan had been rotated 40 °, the hammer had hit weakly, the flan had returned to its original position and the hammer would have hit hard for minting the coin.Or a weak first strike, then a rotation within the collar and a second normal strike.
This I say can be displayed on the photo (the masts of the flags - blue arrows) I repeat that: the weak masts are in positive relief. Those who study and collect errors here consider it difficult to achieve- I am very puzzled by this error.
Essentially it's an additional design feature on the die (I say die and not hub because I assume only a small percentage of these coins have the variation). If it was a design feature already on the coin, then it would be a Doubled Die error. In this case, since it's something new, then there really is no error term for it other than variety.
To better see the type of error, I created a sequence made with a national park coin.
I have these same three:
one, the design (the weakest) is centered but rotated 40 degrees counterclockwise
another, that the design (the weakest) is centered but turned 20º counterclockwise
and another, the design (the weakest) is centered but rotated 20 degrees clockwise.
If your implying that you believe the coin was stuck twice and the black arrows shown below became the blue arrows in the second strike, I would have to disagree. If that happened there would be much more detail on the coin from the second strike. Can you post a picture of the other side of the coin; it's possible this was caused by a clashed die.
Steve: I think the blue arrows are below the black arrows. I show you a picture with more quality to see what I say. I think it looks better, especially in other parts minted weak (red circles) some belong to the flags, and the circle below, belongs to a part of the drum (just below the right flags). All are in positive relief.
