xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 8:33 pm Mine has a few corrosion spots, but I am pretty sure it's this same coin pointed out by Mr. Diamond in a recent post to his Error Coin Information list. I was very interested in his post, as I had wondered how this error occurred. I thought others might be interested as well. The auction does not have a close-up picture, but I'm 90% sure it's from the same dies. Close up shots, explanation after: (reprinted with permission) This is one of about half-a-dozen Cuds associated with a floating die clash. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...220353294194 After breaking off, the die fragment ended up in the striking chamber. The obverse die struck the working face of the die fragment, transferring the design to the intact portion of the die. Every coin struck after that has an incuse, mirror-image version of the last three digits of the date, along with an impression of the design rim. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 2:00 pm The incuse date reads "987". So it's a 1987 cent. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 10:38 pm Nice to know what date it is. The Cud Book lists it as a "no date". This is my favorite out of my small group of error coins Report this Post to the Staff
