malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 8:08 pm I am posting a few odd coins collected over the years. Just wondering what the proper error term for these would be and if any of them may have any value? (more than face value of course) The 1 cent piece may look like just a scratch under the nose but I just couldn't photograph it properly. When in hand it is much more obvious that he has a "runny nose." thanks for any info you can give me.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 9:46 pm Is the 1945 1c "runny nose" mark sitting above the surface? If so, it must be a die gouge. Nice condition too! The rest look like PMD to me too. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Topic Starter Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 9:47 pm It is above the surface. It's very weird I only wish I could have pictured it better. You think the dime is post mint damage as well? How would that be done? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 10:06 pm Great--I think your '45 1c was minted that way. There's something about the '85 dime that looks like PMD, but I don't have one for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Topic Starter Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 10:11 pm lol thats kind of what I always wonder about. How exactly can people even tell the difference? Its such a smooth surface on the dime that I can't even begin to think of how it would be done post mint. As for the 45 1c. What is that kind of error called? cause it can't be a die gouge right since its on the surface not in it? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 07/04/2008 10:38 pm "...cause it can't be a die gouge right since its on the surface not in it?" If the die is somehow gouged by a tool or by wear, the coin will fill that area when struck, resulting in a raised surface. It's just a guess with the dime, because the edge has full reeding, and so I think that did not happen when in the press. Report this Post to the Staff
