imaschnore New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 7:10 pm 1916 One Penny "Shadow Image Outline" of King George V on seated Victory. 1) Is this an Error? 1a) If so, what it is called? Thank You for Looking. Thank You everyone for your INPUT. I came across this coin and usually I ignore "errors". This appeared to have "shadow" or "ghosting"...technical term Progressive Indirect Die Transfer (PIDT is Not an error). Thx again Edited by imaschnore 05/09/2021 10:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/08/2021 7:25 pm This looks like progressive indirect die transfer (PIDT). As the dies wear, the force they impart on the planchet is transferred through the planchet to the other die. A "ghost" image eventually appears as the dies approach the end of their lives. It's just a die event rather than an error, but still a cool example. Report this Post to the Staff

But that is a very impressive example of PIDT - worth putting in a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
