When trying to think of a name for this type of error, the "Van Gogh Error" immediately comes to mind!

This is a Ron Landis and Joe Rust Gallery Mint Museum Piece with photos and provenance from SF Numismatics.

    :D What a great - and immediately obvious - name for an error coin. Cheers, RickO

    This was picked up by error dealer Jim Cauley and sold to Stef!

    Here are Jim's photos and description:

    This is a bonded die cap error, as there are two planchets involved, not one. A portion of the bottom planchet appears to have broken off, as a part of the error. The reverse is blank, as it was likely struck against another planchet.

    38mm at its widest, pewter.




    Here's a link to Stef's thread:
