2000 LMC Doublestrike With Partial Indent - A Beauty

tropicalbats,
Don't know if you said what you paid for the LOT of errors/varieties but I would like to know if your willing to tell me. Great coins you got and I liked seeing them.

Well, you obviously got a great deal, want to share a few with your CCF friends!! Just kidding, awesome error here. I call it an off centered double strike with around a 45% indent. AWESOME!

Thanks for the very kind words everyone! And it will make you weep to know the details but it is not a secret. Here they are although there are a couple coins I'm not counting as they were in the lot but a separate bag and mostly non-errors like plated coins. Whoever had these knew an error from damage, which is why that one with the incluse lettering stamped on the reverse and second date mirrored on Lincoln's vest still bothers me about it being PMD since it was in the error bag).

115 Lincoln off-center
13 Lincoln broadstrike
3 Lincoln doublestrike
2 Lincoln brockage
2 Lincoln partial indents
1 Lincoln struck through late-stage die cap
2 Roosevelt off-center
1 Roosevelt missing plating on obverse
9 Washington broadstrike
1 Washington 40% off-center
1 Washington partial brockage with partial collar
1 Washington 25% off-center doublestrike
17 Kennedy most all off-center 5-15% with one about 50%
1943-P nickel FS-106 low grade
1964-D quarter labeled DDR haven't looked at yet
Couple of strays like 2000WAM and 1943 clogged 4

So, would you pay $210 for all that? I did.

WOW thats a score! You can make some serious moolah out of that if you choose!

I would say a great buy!

WOW Tropcialbats. That's just an insane purchase. Congrats. & thanks for posting all of these

Halo, things all worth wondering over. Here's some more info. The Lincoln broadstrikes and off-centers are all 1999, 2000, or 2001, and as you have seen so are most of the other Lincolns. How many different dies were invoiced would probably help answer things a bit, but that's a lot of coins to go through hunting down matching die markers. For these, I suspect someone had access to error coins either at the mint or from the mint and this collection was created. It is course worth thinking about.

The quarters are mostly States Program and a variety of years. A quick look at a couple I see 1995, 2000, 2004 x 5 (three different states). So not as consistant and mostly from different years than the Lincolns.

Most of the Kennedys are from 1995, so again a quite different year than the Lincolns. They vary in size of the off-center but at least a couple I looked at seem to be from the same die, so probably created by one die and found all at the same time by someone. One bad collar put out a series of coins, was found and corrected by the mint and I ended up with the set of them that was produced. Just a theory of course, but seems reasonable, given that I know very little about the actual minting processes.

The other coins are here and there on dates, but there is a 2000 off-center dime and nickel in there so it would seem that the majority of this collection was built around that time frame, with the quarters added later.

Thanks again everyone for all the great comments! Happy to be able to show some great error coins and learn so much while doing it. Heck, I didn't even know how to SPELL brockage correctly until I posted one (with the spelling wrong of course).

Its certainly extraordinary especially from a foreign seller no less. Enjoy the mother lode!
