I think I posted it with the topic of fifty cent errors . I reposted it with the dime to give a couple of examples of the type . It has resided in my collection for probably 20 years . It is not a type one planchet as it was upset . It is one hundred percent real and resides in a third party holder .

To avoid mis-interpretations and going OT, below, 3 independent statements. 1. I am not discussing if your coin is a real error or not. What I recall is that a discussion on another forum, about a coin similar to the one you posted, went downhill. Adjustment pieces is one of the most dificult errors to attribute. 2. If you look at the image you posted, it looks like a type 1 planchet (blank) 3. TPG holders host a quite good number or errors of identification and attribution. In this forum I already saw error coins MADE by an expert "artist," many of them now on NGC holders. |

I was not questioning the validity of your 50-cent error. I have seen another one, almost exactly like it on a nickel planchet, but several years back in an auction catalogue... I just cannot remember where... I have recently seen a silver dollar of a similar error type, but it did not sell: http://auctions.tcnccoins.com/1973-...S60_i9544163I have a couple of nickel dollar die adjustment strikes, but not to the same degree of weakness as your 50-cent. The differential flow of metal into the devices (i.e., depth) still is a bit of a head-scratcher for me - I suspect it is not from differential pressure alone, but die alignment as well, since the dies are slightly convex, elements near the edges go 'missing'.

You need to look at the image again . you can clearly see that the blank was upset . This means it is not a type one . I agree , there are many errors in third party holders that are not . this is why you need to educate yourself what is real and what is not .

The problem with die adjustment strikes is that they get confused with other types of errors . Most of the time people think that strike through errors are die adjustment strikes ( BTW - some refer to them as weak strikes ) . The first thing that you should do is look at the rim of the coin . If the reeding/rim is fully struck , then it isn't a die adjustment strike . There are others that I know of out there . There are some factors on what details are present , even a slight tilt in the die can determine what details are struck up .

Weak strikes are dead easy (at least from my perspective). The dies are already set up for production (level and straight) and the highest elements on the coin (i.e., deepest part of the die) are not fully struck. But, with die adjustment strikes, you often do see some parts of the coin, including some high points, strongly struck. I find that almost everyone lumps several error types under 'strike through' including this type of error and lamination peel errors... most folks also often forget about the collar die...
