I don't get it, a dent is an error? Technically they're right, an error by definition is what they're describing, but come on... Oh no, under a microscope I can see less detail along the rim of this coin! I don't get it, never will, if this makes it more valuable. And Jayman, that's how dealers send in their coins or whoever, buy the monster box, and out of the 500, say 5 10 make 70,50 make 69 100 make 68 and the rest is whatever...the only coins I end up buying that are current graded coins, unless it's a heckuva deal, are the early strikes, for some reason, I just like those, and prefer West point, but they do not print the mint on them anymore, to deter collecting on ASE's, kind of a shame, since we aren't on the gold or silver standard. The government is..... well whatever, we collect silver for a reason. |

Its not a dent...it is a clip. Clips are a mint error and it occurs before the coin is struck while it is a planchet. There are only 6 known clipped ASE's so its probably very valuable. I don't have a hard time seeing it at all with out any magnification. |

And I'm pretty sure they still make special strikes with the W mintmark...

You're focusing on the wrong point of my post of using a magnifying glass.... it's a chip of an edge of a coin. It goes along with the 2008 ASE with a 2007 back, the difference being the U on the back doesn't have that little tip coming of the bottom of it.... it's not a personal thing towards you for posting it, in my opinion I wouldn't pay more than spot, a chunk of silver is missing, mine has more silver than it does. There's a market for everything, for error's on baseball cards when I was a kid, I was the Ripken card or whatever, that had a badword printed on it, that somehow made it to press, the majority are covered with black labels, the one without the black label is with more.... it's the same card! This is my thinking, obviously, becase there's a market, others don't. |

But if they all had black labels and one didn't then it's not the same card is it? That's what makes it valuable...sorry,I just don't get your thinking...a market is a market that's where the values are set-doesn't mean everyone is going to like the item...

I think you're taking what I'm saying way too personal, and not actually reading what I typed. I wouldn't expect somebody who finds this niche market interesting, when discussing it with somebody who doesn't... that'd be like me not getting your idea of finding it interesting.... I do, I just personally don't get it. I cast and make silver ingots into 1 oz bars to make jewelry, no 2 are ever alike, if I tried hard enough I could make them all the same... so it'd be like me considering one my bars more expensive than the other, because on accident, I poured one of the bars differently one time. Like I said, I get why there's a market for it, I just do not get the logic behind it at all... please don't take my opinions personally.

I would have had it slabbed just to find out.
I have some doubt, despite what I see and read.
I can't get it out of my mind that the defect may have happened after the coin was struck.
I will also have to admit, that I can't quite make up my mind as to how such a defect came to be.
I do feel however, that the defect happened before the coin left the mint, and was unintentional.
Weighing wouldn't prove anything, unfortunately.
For me the jury is still out on this one.
Are there any other very small clip errors that have been posted to compare with this one?

A typical example of a minor clip.The design rim tapers into the clip and there exists a strong Blakesley Effect. Here is a similarly-sized example on a Morgan dollar: http://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/1921...1437-25316.s It's a very cool piece considering the host coin and date. It would be welcome in my collection any time. Congratulations to the owner - whether or not they appreciate these kinds of things! |
