Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 204 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 2:17 pm I just know that some of the design of the obverse has been struck on the reverse and the double struck is off center. I'm not entirely sure what to call this error. If someone knows what this mint error is called, please enlighten me. Report this Post to the Staff

If real then I think it must be overstruck on top of a first coin with an extreme misaligned die. Can you please give us the weight of this piece? Thx.

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 09:47 am I'd agree; it's transparent glue., left behind when two coins were glued together then prised apart again. It's transparent, so it looks metallic from the underlying metal, but it's not actually part of the coin. Needless to say, it's not a mint error. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Aref Valued Member United Arab Emirates 204 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 11:32 am I have double-checked. There is no glue. There is no doubt about it being a mint error. I just need to know what exactly the error is called. I don't have a scale to weigh the exact mass. I'm getting 4g on my scale and my scale doesn't show non-integer numbers.

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 9:05 pm Sorry, but it 100% is glue, and not a mint error. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
