Partial collar "railroad rim" dime.

rottnrog · October 30, 2004 2:49AM

braddick · October 30, 2004 2:50AM

Dog97- That is totally cool! I've yet to see one with that much design element under the second striking. Definitely cool.

Technically a variety, but a major error at the Mint resulted in the obverse die falling on the reverse die before this 1880 IH was struck. The overlay shows the position of the die when it hit.

1880 S1 Off-Center Reverse Clash

Heh, 'Huge B/S'. Does that mean it's fake?

1880 S1 Off-Center Reverse Clash

Paul - I don't recognize that one. How rare is it?

shylock · October 30, 2004 7:47AM

Andy - pretty rare, the FlyInClub census lists 21 known, 11 in MS. Goldbergs had a 65RD listed in their Long Beach sale, though it's tough to see the detail in their image. I think Rick Snow jumped on that one.

MrEureka · October 30, 2004 8:00AM

a major error at the Mint resulted in the obverse die falling on the reverse die

Looks like the obverse die did more than "fall". It SLAMMED into the reverse die. The obverse die actually reached into the recesses of the E of "ONE". Yet the clash only shows a small portion of the obverse die. I wonder if the dies hit at a sharp angle, but I cannot imagine how that could happen. I also wonder if the clash could have come from a broken off piece of the previous obverse die. Do you know of any cud variety that might be related to this coin?

In any event, fascinating coin! I want one.

It's a mysterious error which is part of its charm. I haven't been able to find any details on how it occurred. The obverse die struck the reverse die at an extreme angle and with great force (or a great hight) -- as you noted only a small portion of the obverse die made an impression, very deeply. Any ideas?

MrEureka · October 30, 2004 8:43AM

Like I said before, the clash could have been made by a severed piece of a broken die. Now, let's find the cud variety struck before these clashed die coins.

You haven't even mentioned the cherry on top of this coin - the obverse is a nice doubled die visible on LIBERTY. The clash is a PUP for the variety in low grades.

This was my icon coin for a while. 191x (probably 1919) Lincoln with five clips - curved, two overlapping curved, rim, and ragged:

My only cool error.

BillJones · October 31, 2004 9:56PM

These two dimes are fraternal twins. Two planchets were fed into the strike chamber at the same time. When they were struck, both coins were out of collar producing partial images of the obverse on, a partial image of the reverse on the other and ghost images on the opposite sides. These coins were somehow found together, and they are now in a PCGS two holder set.

P.S. These coins are for sale as a set of two pieces. If you are interested, please send me a PM. Thanks.

Snoodle · October 31, 2004 11:43PM

Possibly a 1948-D Jefferson, struck with a capped die.

Lets see some pics of EXTREME error coins!
