Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 01:29 am Hi all, Haven't been on CCF in awhile... wasn't finding much time to look through my coins until more recently... (quarantine)... BTW - Hope you all are well!! Anyways, I was going through some of my old finds to finally put in 2x2's and mark up what they were and... I pulled up this 1968 D LMC that I had posted here about a year ago... and ultimately wasn't sure what to mark on the holder... So, I recently sent it in to Coin Q&A YouTube for discussion. Thought you would all get a kick out of checking it out ;) (This coin is discussed at approx. 19:00 on video) MsbEwpPlMlI 133 Edited by Eyes4Error 04/26/2020 03:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 2:07 pm Hey John1 No, I just sent an email to them with question & images... simple as that... and they picked my coin for the discussion. ;) Pretty cool though, hearing the discussion between the panel about different errors on coins!

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 3:12 pm Yes Coop... I have your retained your replies and graphics in my coin desktop files... Your on team strike through... and first to point that out! Seems this coin has 2 different consensus points... and many varied replies when I posted it here and on another forum. That is why the search for another is on... it would help the solve for sure! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 3:15 pm But looking again at it, on the top of the 'N' I see a wave. So I'm now leaning towards coin damage. If it were a struck through the wave would not be there. PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 3:18 pm Also, in the original post... I didn't know about the weight and tapered planchet factor, until I took the coin back out to take new photos to send ;) Minor detail...but good to know about! Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 3:20 pm Yes, I have looked at it quite a few times and just somehow can't figure out this little puzzle... HAHAHA UFO Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 6:00 pm Ok... PSD ... The fact it is on a slightly light planchet (3.04g) and has tapering influenced by the strike (tapering is diagonal opposite of error area "N" - slight MAD) leads me to believe the error was included in the strike... thoughts?

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 8:14 pm Looks raised. I think its just a die dent. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5802 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 07:55 am I agree with Klocckwork419. That with it being raised, not incuse, it appears to be some type of die damage/dent. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
