The error formed when three planchets of different denominations entered the striking chamber at the same time. Should read: This mint sport was created when a worker placed three planchets of different denominations entered the striking chamber at the same time. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Intentionally created or not, still a very cool and interesting piece. Errers and Varietys.

That's one heck of a deliberate defect.

Wonder if the mint workers get fired if caught doing these kind of things?  Edited by FsdWarp10

The image shown by @Chase007 is confusing to my eye - makes it appear that there are 6 parts to this assisted error.
I appreciate the link to the article which clearly shows it is 3 separate planchets that were struck at the same time.
I am not a fan of employee assisted mint errors. But they do seem to be accepted in the marketplace.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
