Shnug Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 10:49 am I was looking at some of my halves and noticed that on this one, the nose appears to be detached. Here are two photos showing the obverse and the seemingly normal reverse of the coin. http://imgur.com/a/bLkks I don't know too much about error coins, as I was just looking for silver. Is this just wear, or a legitimate error? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 11:01 am Over die polishing is an alteration of a normal die. Some may collect over polishing, but they are fairly common to find. It happens after die clashes are removed. Report this Post to the Staff

They are rather common and are not considered collectible errors. BTW, to clarify for you..."dye" is a color pigment used to change the color of cloth. "Die" (one definition of many) is a tool used to create coins. Report this Post to the Staff
