Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 03/26/2010 10:58 pm coop, I generally find your analysis dead on but this time I am not sure. If you look at "In god We Trust" the secondary incused images are behind the primary devises and do not effect the original devise where it lays over the top. How could you lay down a second image after the mint strike and not alter the devise. The front of Lincoln's face is the same situation. How do you incuse the field in front of the portrait and not damage Lincoln's face. This seems weird. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 02:23 am Quote: How could you lay down a second image after the mint strike and not alter the devise. Start out by making a die that matches the unaltered coin. Then alter that die (by adding to it, not substracting) in the fields near the devices. Then use the die on the coin...the devices on the coin would be protected because they go into the voids on the die. Easier said than done, but maybe it could work. I would love to hear a plausible mint scenario. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 09:01 am playing with the colors a little bit I made it pretty good! this is NOT original color! and the brownish area is NOT dirt, its greenish white corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:02 pm The cent was struck once through a dislodged, rotated, late-stage die cap that experienced two shift-and-strike events before the strike that generated your coin. The incuse, normally-oriented design elements are characteristic of such errors. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:04 pm so what could be the value of such errors Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:06 pm Anywhere from $75 - $150. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:32 pm oh! so should I dip it? Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:34 pm Never clean a coin. Certainly not this one. It's in decent shape and dipping will only make things worse. Error coin writer and researcher. Edited by mikediamond 03/27/2010 9:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:37 pm well, there's corrosion all over it. I know not to clean a coin but the corrosion looks horrible Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/27/2010 9:41 pm Copper-plated zinc cents don't respond well at all to dipping. The results are uniformly hideous. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
