With the link above, see # 10, and clic on " More examples of Die clash ".
You can also see, in this list : " 10 cents 2001 - Volunteers- Die clash on both sides ( coin of La loutre ).

I appreciate the links. I actually have used the coinsandcanada site a few times and am a member though I haven't participated much in the last year. I have the site in my bookmarks and do use it for reference.
I also have the Hans Zoell booklets in my collection.
Though they are listed, so are die cracks and I enjoy finding examples of them. But, as I said, it should be the marketplace that dictates the value not a arbitrary number that is just tossed out there.

ikandiggit, I think that it was normal to be surprised with your comment of 28/03/2012 : " OH,yes.... excellent die clash. Probably no premium for it though. " Maybe, no premium for you, but not necessarily for all collectors. ----- You say about your 1 cent 1907 : " This one was $1 for a bargain bin ". I am happy for you because this is also an excellent " Die clash " ! This opportunity exist now because, even if we are in 2012, some sellers have no interest, ( not enought profit ) with these coins; more, some sellers have no knowledge about the errors : maybe it will be different in 2015 ! If you offer this coin on ebay, I am convinced that you will obtain a great premium. |

za, you've taken this far too personally. When I stated "no additonal premium", it's because I've rarely seen clashes that have sold at . There may be a lot on the auctions but when you watch them run to the end with no bids, it shows me that the desire to pay extra is not there. The "buy it now" price is just an asking price. If it doesn't sell, I would say that that the price was either too high or the demand isn't there.
I have the "guitar" cent in raw but it would probably grade MS65 or MS66. I've been told that I should be able to get at least $125 or more for it. Yet they can't even get $20 on the auction sites. So is the value $125 or $20 or less? It's what the collector will pay. And if it doesn't sell for $20 that tells me that it's worth less than that to a collector.
Bidding wars between two bidders can drive a price to unrealistic heights and give a false value to an item. I've sold a pack of playing cards that went for over $200. The second identical pack sold for $2.00 and subsequent packs didn't receive any bids. The value of these cards was not $200.00 just because one sold for that amount, the actual value was less than $2.00.

ikandiggit, I think that we find interesting errors ( like this 10 cents 2001P " volunteers " ),in all types of error : as example, when a " Die crack " start on the rim and go near the center of the coin ( 50 % of diameter ), I think that such a coin is interesting !
In my point of view, the search of errors is very incentive for YOUNG COLLECTORS and for ALL collectors that state a drop of their interest for a " normal " collection of coins.
When I read some articles of Ken Potter, about errors coins, I see that more and more peoples think the same thing on this.

Hi everyone!
I was looking through my change and found "10 cents 2001 Volunteers - Die grooves on the obverse", wasn't sure what it was - so looked it up. I tried taking pictures, but they didn't seem to come out. I need advice on how do you guys take pictures where you can see so much detail? Because I also found a 2007 Caribou quarter with 3-4 missing dots above "D and A" in "CANADA"..., but couldn't find any information about it. And it seems like without pictures no-one would believe me or be able to help me....
Thank you...

Hello Russian... there is a forum on here labeled coin photography. Searching the topics in there may help answer your questions better. Personally I use a pentax dslr camera for my photos. I also have a usb microscope that I can take pictures with. Your quarter with the missing beads could have been Struck Through Grease or perhaps a weak strike. |

Thank you very much for information. I have a 10Mega Pixel CANON, which obviously is too outdated... I guess it's time to buy something that suits my needs better...
Any suggestions on where to take the quarter to have a professional take a look at it?

A 10 mp camera should give you good pictures. I shoot my pics at 12.6 mp with a standard 18-55 mm lens and then crop them with my camera's software. If there is a coin shop where you live, take it there.

     Dot on nose (witch? Haha) Joker like smiling frown. So much sorrow in that expression Her cheeks look like she has pox, acne, or some sideburns stubble What seem to me numbers small all over the coin. Under queen Elizabeth espexially under the II looks weirdly like 100 Doubling on 10 cents Just so much going on I have a headache What's going on are the H and T in Elizabeth holding hands? Like come on Edited by Coincanada
