LUCHO70 Valued Member Colombia 185 Posts	Posted 11/18/2015 3:01 pm Everybody knows that Colombian Coins are one of the best places just to find nice errors . I want to show you one example of this with a 10 cents Colombian coin of 1971 where you can see a lot of what I believe are errors ( I am not an expert ) : DD error, Grease Die ,rotated to the right 15 degrees (In Colombia is identified as Girada 15 grados ) , not 100 % centered , and another error(?) that is in one of the pictures with an interrogation mark .I really will appreciate your comments.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/18/2015 7:13 pm I am fairly sure the doubling you see is considered Machine Doubling since the devices are smaller and the doubled section is shelf like. The rotated die is interesting, but not sure if that small percentage is valuable. The off-center may not add any value since none of the design appears missing. And the areas missing because of Grease Filled Dies, may add interest to a specific collector Report this Post to the Staff
LUCHO70 Valued Member Colombia 185 Posts	Posted 11/18/2015 8:06 pm Thanks a lot Fuzzy317 ! Last question.What do you think about the imperfect that appears over the 1 ? is an error ? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 11/18/2015 8:32 pm if the line over the 1 is raised, maybe a die crack. The part nearest the rim looks recessed, maybe the coin was hit Report this Post to the Staff
uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 11/19/2015 08:19 am agreed with Fuzzy317 on most of it but what's on top of #1 looks a gouge to me not a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
LUCHO70 Valued Member Colombia 185 Posts	Posted 11/19/2015 4:17 pm I agree with you Uruman, when you see the coin under the magnifying glass , the metal elevation over the 1 seems like a gouge (The best thing is that I am learning with every post !...Thanks to everybody and the Community Family ! ) Report this Post to the Staff
