[Daniel]

Hello,
I'm Daniel from Germany, ECIE: dani200105, ebay: laboraffe03.

I'd like to open this thread for foreign mint erros and i'd like to invite you to post your pix

I'd like to start with a 1 Pfennig 1950 G i just bought from a German collector:



btw - German Pfennig double strike are very rare, they are not like Lincoln double strikes

Thanks,

Hi can someone tell me if this Toonie (Canada 2 Dollar) has what is referred to as a misaligned core? This is an Oh Canada Set so was difficult to get a photo, however if I was inclined to... the edge of the core sticks out enough to get your finger nail under. It is evident on the reverse except the core is sunk in, Is this considered just damage? Thank you.

It's not a misaligned core. Instead it's a loose or poorly fitting core. It could be damage or it could simply have shifted position after the strike. I suppose you could consider it an error, since the core is supposed to fit tightly into the ring. It doesn't have much value, though.

Thank you for the explanation Mike.

Strike Through Errors or Post Strike damage?

For the heck of it, I bought some Euro Cent bank rolls to search. I found nothing in the way of die varieties - but did find these two potential "strike-thru" errors. I'm no expert concerning these, so your opinions please...






Here is a slightly closer shot and a different lighting angle of the 2nd one.

They are strike-thrus, but as is the case with most such errors, I have no idea what made them.

Another German (Nazi era) DDO

This 1937 D 2 Reichsmark coin isn't the boldest Nazi era DD I've found, but still a nice DDO (or TDO), with doubling clear on the top half of the coin.






Bold double eyelid

And just to make things more interesting, the reverse has a rim to rim die crack on the bottom third of the coin (from 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock).



Question: Would this coin be considered a retained cud - or would the die break have to be a little more substantial for the 'retained cud' designation to apply?

Thailand One Baht

HI. I would like to share what I found and opinion please.

[wavysteps]

To be honest with you, it appears to be machine doubling. The lack of notching and the shelf like appearence of the doubling are two indicators of this type of affect.

Okey! Here is an other one Tailand 25 Satang.
Thanks.

The first looks like die deterioration doubling. The second looks like machine doubling.

Bj, Mike.
Thank you for the opinions. What are the difference between die deterioration and machine doubling any of them considered as an error?
