Carmcoin New Member Australia 6 Posts	Posted 09/16/2018 01:29 am Please Help. What is everyone's opinion on errors for this coin. I am extremely new to this hobby and unfortunately am not up to date with all lingo and terminology. Why does the coin have a crack in several places around the rim? And what error would that be defined as Please? Also, I am unsure if genuine error for Queens mouth and chin. Would it be genuine mint error? Thank you in advance for any assistance you could give me. I am clearly out of my depth at the moment and have so much to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/16/2018 01:39 am I can say for certain that what we see on the Queen's nose, mouth and chin is damage from a coin counting/sorting machine of some type. The tell-tale sign is that the impression forms a concentric circle within the rim. The rim itself having a separation is most likely due to a small offset (to the north) in the die's position when striking the coin, and could also be influenced by greater than normal striking pressure. Learning about the striking process is a must if you wish to learn about errors. A pic or two of the coin's reverse would be nice, too.
