snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 01/08/2007 8:42 pm I pulled this error coin out of a lot that I was looking through this weekend (at least I think it's an error): Image: Pesata5.jpg 39.46 KB Image: Pesata6.jpg 45.98 KB Since I don't collect errors and already have several of these I will give it to the first member with 50 posts or more that correctly idenifies the error type.

edix Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/08/2007 10:21 pm It's either off center or mis-aligned die. I don't have 50 posts, tho. But I have some of those old Franco pesetas. Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9379 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 05:22 am I can see what appears to be rim Cuds and also the mis-aligned die on the reverse, also a small Cud above the N in ESPANA on the obverse. Steve Report this Post to the Staff

laxmaster92 Member United States 1154 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 4:27 pm The small off center and rotated dies are not big enough to be considered errors. So whats the error? Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 7:40 pm I appologize, I thought some one would be able to guess the error from the images I provided. Off-strike is close (and a similar error type), but not quite right. Since I still want to give the coin to an error collector I'll post these two images of a similar non-error coin and give two clues: 1) The error coin has a larger diameter than regular-strike Pesetas. 2) There is almost no reeding on the edge.

laxmaster92 Member United States 1154 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 9:57 pm Is it broadstruck? Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9379 Posts	Posted 01/10/2007 05:20 am Is it struck on the wrong planchet? Steve Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 01/10/2007 7:18 pm Good call laxmaster92! The coin is indeed a broadstruck error. E-mail me your adress and I'll send it off to you along with an Indian 5 Paise that appears to also be mis-stuck (although I think that it's probably a common error due to poor quality control at the Indian mint).

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9379 Posts	Posted 01/11/2007 05:47 am Well done Laxmaster92. I am not familiar with this terminology and it is not in the glossary. Can you tell me what broadstruck is? Thanks Steve Report this Post to the Staff
laxmaster92 Member United States 1154 Posts	Posted 01/11/2007 7:48 pm Broadstruck means that the coin was struck without a collar. The pressure of the die striking the coin makes the metal spread out. Report this Post to the Staff
