D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 9:37 pm Just thought I would share pictures of my only and nicest error coin. The coin was struck once normally but was not fully ejected from the coining chamber (collar). The next planchet was fed into the chamber, under this piece, and it was struck again. The reverse 2nd strike doesn't have a die strike on it is because of the planchet under it which caused the "distortion" of the first strike in that area. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 04:22 am Thanks for sharing - that is a crazy error, and surprising it got past the mint the day it left! Only thing that would make it better was if it were silver! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
