LUCHO70 Valued Member Colombia 185 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 9:43 pm Recently I found this penny in a bunch of Colombian coins that I bought here in Colombia and I need the opinion of the experts to describe if what I consider is an error is an error , and in that case , what kind of error.I think that the coin also is off center ( little...). Does it has a plus ? Thanks a lot Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 10:18 pm From what I can see in the images, it is a slightly Mis-Aligned Die error (MAD). If it were an off center strike, both sides would show it. Edited by cwb 09/14/2016 10:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
LUCHO70 Valued Member Colombia 185 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 10:31 pm Hi cwb : thanks for your answer.As you can see in the picture the rim is broken or separated in two pieces and the fisure is irregular .That´s not what is called an edge or rim error ? Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 10:35 pm That is just extra metal that was left on the rim after the MAD missed striking it. If it were a broken die, that would be a Cud and maybe have some collector value based on it's size. I don't see any premium above face value in your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 07:42 am On a rim Cud, it will raise above the surface of the coin. Yours doesn't. Edited by coop 09/15/2016 07:45 am Report this Post to the Staff

It didn't get molded into the desired shape. Report this Post to the Staff
