 Post mint damage. My 2 cents. The first link claims that she found one coin several years ago and now has found another exactly the same. Shame she didn't post pictures of both coins. It looks like there is a tell tale ring around the coin in those picture The second link does not look like the first link, so a die variety would be out of te question. I took one of te pictures and pasted it below, along with a picture of my 1960 dime. You can see where the orginal die made the detail '0' on the surface of the coin where it should be before the material was pushed aside. I find it hard to believe a die would have been able to produce such a coin. I don't recall which link showed it better, but the '1' in '10 cents' appears to be pointed on the bottom. It should be blunt. The angle is similar to what would be expected if you drew a ring around the coin from the middle of the '0' in 1960. Mine  Theirs  Again, just my 2 cents. |

Five senior numismatists have checked my coin ( second link ), last weekend, and nobody have concluded with a damage in circulation : no sign on the coin to confirm this conclusion.
Just curious- were they coin dealers or error attribution specialists? There is a big difference between the two groups and the vast majority of dealers I have encountered do not know squat about errors. This should be an obvious one to figure out for anyone well-versed in errors as it is certainly not an uncommon damage phenomenon. |

Absolutely PMD. Die variety? NO! I know the mint does weird things sometimes,but doesn't logic tell you "Why would the mint make and use a die with a warped 0 like that?" IMHO  I am not bashing/slandering anyone.This is just my opinion.This is a great forum and have learned a lot from it.From my experience,I HAD many coins I wanted to post for info but didn't bother after doing research.(Mostly from this forum)I think sometimes some of us.(At least myself) get a "special one"that is unique,one of a kind,etc.,only it turns out to be WISHFUL THINKING or HOPEFUL,THIS IS IT! Thanks for letting me ramble on. Just my 1 cent worth  Again P L E A S E don`t take this as a slander or insult! JUST IMHO.  Edited by collectall

biokemist6,
Your question : " Just curious..... ? "
My answer : five error attribution specialists. But in this show, they have only 10 x and 16 X magnifycing-glass.
But this is not the "end of the world" : this is only our error !

"5 cents 1932(Varieties:Far 2 and Near 2)"
I knew nothing about them.(Who discovered the variety & when)
It was on this forum that I learned about it.
I can't seem to find the post,since it was an older post.
Maybe it is achieved somewhere.
I do know a couple of us on the forum had to double check to see if we had the rarer variety.

Hello everyone - It appears it's been almost one year since this topic was last discussed. I just happened to do a general search and found this topic which describes a Canadian 10 cent coin with exactly the same defect., I discovered one in a coin collection that my father left to me also. It has the same type of error as the other members are showing with their coins. Since a few of us have this coin with the same defect (the 0 is compressed that it almost looks like a 1 over-strike - and it appears that we all have it occurring vertically). Since there is more than one coin with the exact date and defect, what are the odds that it would get the same problem from a coin counter/sorter? Also, this would have occurred before 1975 because that is the last time this coin had been touched. I have had the coins stored since that time and my father had them boxed and put away even longer. If there is still any interest in this topic , I will take a picture and post it.

If you have a coin with the same issue..... it was done after if left the mint as well. It is not a die issue. It is Post Mint Damage, no more, no less sorry.

I don't see the pictures so I'll try this again. Sorry, I'm new to this so I'm learning. Already had to compress the picture sizes. Maybe I have a file naming issue.   This looks better .... had a space in the name created by the file compression utility |

Looks like damage from a coin wrapper. Part of the outside of the "0" has been pushed over.
