Seventh1 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 6:44 pm I know its ugly and been through the ringer but I have to say that out of all the errors that I have found and thought I have found this is the first one that is going to stay in my collection. I've been reading some posts lately and was wondering is this a "misaligned die" error. Well just thought I share my first keeper with the forum. Here's to many more. Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 6:47 pm I don't think so. Did you read the post about pheripheral die damage? Otherwise a dryer got ahold of this one. Edited by rockdude 02/02/2009 6:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 7:18 pm It was damaged outside the Mint. The fact that the "rim" folds over the peripheral letters is evidence enough of this. Such an effect is impossible in a mint error. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 09:48 am Hi newbie & welcome. I am sortta new too. This is a great learning site and the members (some really knowledgeable)really like to help with their 2 or 3 cents worth. I'm like you finding different things and going oooh-oooh. After I post them do I find out the truth, but that's how you learn. I did find a nice 1995 DDO this week that wasn't poopood by the members so I know it was a good find, finally. I've got another one in the works now while I find out about it (1995 Wide AM w/rotated reverse). Maybe a fake. Anyway, keep hunting and squinting. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 09:50 am I can remember when I was younger taking a nickel and using a spoon to roll the edges and forming it into a ring. This coin is not a spooned coin. Report this Post to the Staff
