macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 05/22/2010 5:50 pm Going through my junk box for exchange with a fellow member here, and found this error. What would cause this error? Did it fall out of the slot? or used a smaller frame punch intended for a smaller coin? Small die brake also appears at the A's around 3:30 and 7:30.

All in all an interesting find. I too have found a few notable error coins from the Franco period. It makes you wonder how quality control was at the Spanish mints during this time. Here is a link to a thread containing images of my best example of a Spanish error coin: https://goccf.com/t/60213 Edited by Archraz 05/23/2010 10:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 05/23/2010 11:49 pm macmercury- Regarding the value of these coins, there really is not too much added by the error. Error coins commanding a premium is something that was invented in the US and has spread to some countries, such as Canada. But some countries so frequently have had error coins that problem-free coins are more in demand. So, no, I'm sorry to say that your coins probably do not have much additional value.
