CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 04/26/2011 8:16 pm hello. I have a 1865 Two Cent Piece and was wondering if it was an error. I will try to get a picture posted as soon as possible. the E and are in AMERICA are connected. the bottom of the E goes up to the top of the R. Has anyone else seen or heard of this error? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/27/2011 12:55 pm We'll need pictures be be sure of what you have but it sounds like probably either a die crack (no premium), a die gouge (probably no premium), or post mint damage (a negative premium).

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 09:55 am OK, you have a die crack that runs from the rim to the center of the A through the M the bottom of ME, up through the serif of the E to the top of the are and back to the rim. The crack branched as it went through the E and came back together in the R. A piece of the die between the cracks has fallen out of the die resulting in the raised lump from the E to the R. It also looks like there has been some die chipping inside the M as well. Since the crack runs from rim to rim if the die remained in use there is a chance it may have eventually broken away completely and formed either a Retained Cud or even a full Cud. It also looks like there may a crack through the bottoms of ATES to the top of the O Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 6:39 pm I don't know if it's an error or not but it is neat and I think there are some people that would pay a premium price for it. Especially if there is a Cud that resulted from that die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 1:26 pm I wouldn't call it an error, just a late die state. I wouldn't expect it to attract much if any premium. Report this Post to the Staff
