Epi,

Sort of the summary of the comments is that it isn't an error. Someone got very happy with a hammer or other weapon of numismatic destruction after the coin was in circulation.


I'm aware;I was being sarcastic and joining in on the fun. I can't believe this guy's actually selling this mutilated piece of metal. The close-up shots he put up make it even funnier. I'm not even sure he believes it's worth something.

Collectors from other countries find our fascination with "mint errors" confounding. An accidental "mint error" in a foreign country is worth LESS, not more. I've never quite understood the attraction to them myself. A variation is something done purposely, and in small numbers is rare and makes sense. Something done accidentally, like a clipped planchet or a die rotation? That's not a mint error, it's an accident. The recent actual mint error in Chile where many thousand coins of a particular denomination went out with the country name spelled "CHIIE", now that's an actual error variation.
