Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 2:08 pm Hello I just got this for Christmas and was wondering what exactly the errors are? If its a die clash or anything else? And what the value on a coin like this would be I just want to know if my mom got a good price on it. I can post a pic of the back later but that is the best pic I can get with my phone. Thank you all in advance and have a merry Christmas!! Report this Post to the Staff

Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 10:55 pm What does terminal die state mean? Sorry not usually on the error side of the website Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:05 pm means the die likely shattered not long after your coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:07 pm Ok does that happen often? Does that affect the value? Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:18 pm Not all dies are used to this point. It can happen to any die. Not abnormal. I do not think it increases value....just coolness. Report this Post to the Staff
Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:23 pm Ok when I first saw it, it shocked me I was blown away by the extent on the error. My mom only paid $18 for it so its not to bad of a deal. One more question what exactly would this be called a terminal die state? Or is there another name for it? Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:26 pm VLDS. Very Late Die State. BTW, it is not an error. It is normal. Nice coin. You should thank your mom... Report this Post to the Staff
