KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 11:19 pm This is a hard one to comment on, although I think it was intact (and round) when struck and these cracks happened later. Perhaps there was a defect in the planchet that was helped. I do see some dents on the rim--leverage may have been applied. Any other ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 06:27 am IMO you should send it for grading company to research & designate the error for you. I can only see a die crack on the reverse. Kurt, Correct me if I am wrong Report this Post to the Staff

Kurt, Correct me if I am wrong Not to correct you or anybody , but yes I see just one crack in the coin on the reverse, and two separate cracks in the coin on the obverse. However, if you look at the way the design is interrupted by these cracks, I have a feeling the coin wasn't struck this way. The cracks must have been worked open post-strike. That's just my take, and perhaps someone more experienced like Bill can comment. Report this Post to the Staff
EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 10:02 am Quote: Not to correct you or anybody Kurt, I am interested to know more about errors. Do you have a link or two where I can find some errors classification, definitions, examples...etc Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 10:09 am Amr, I really don't have much knowledge of errors...I know a bit about repunched dates and overdates on a few coins. Those few things I've learned come from Coppercoins.com and this site. So what I said is just my best guess Report this Post to the Staff
