Recent eBay purchase: "6 Lead Coins - Replicas Made in Prisons".

No, this isn't off topic -- figure out why not!

(Yes, I have them in hand. Or more technically, I had them in hand. One is off getting slabbed...)

Is this coin struck on a split planchet as well (or an underweight planchet)? Great shield nickel errors!

Took this Washington straight out of the role.

Rotation and clash:









Many folks don't consider cuds and retained cuds to be errors, but I do.

I only collect errors from my birth year set (1983).
Here is a few on my favorites. I still have a bunch that need to get graded!!

COINB0Y

Whelp! All 1989 P's Dimes

1. Top Set of 4 dimes have die marks on the reverse that appear to indicate the same die did all 4 of the strikes
2. Bottom Set of 5 dimes have die marks on the reverse that appear to indicate the same die did all 5 of the strikes

Struck through mint employee's finger, or : "what not to do on the job".

Sorry but that is post mint. Someone took a wire brush to that poor quarter.

I already know the answer, but I'm bumping this so others might take a stab. I also want to take the opportunity to say in public that you suck so hard for this purchase.

Jonathonb - NICE catch !!!

I figure the odds are 50% that I'll see it
this Thursday......

Lewy

What an interesting '42 quarter Joe. I would love to come up with a better explanation for it's appearance, but I can't. I like your theory though, I wonder if the coiner has and eagle and portrait of Washington on his fingers?

Ok, I stared at them for a while, and the only possibility I could come up with is the War Nickel being Struck on a Steel Cent Planchet?

Pretty good guess, Paul. My first thought was that it was struck on a silver dime planchet, but I missed the giant S mintmark over the dome the first time I looked. Hopefully jonathan will drop back by the thread with his after pics.

Good spotting, Paul! I was thinking that it was on a foreign planchet myself, since the color seemed strange to me and the US struck a LOT of foreign pieces in the war years, some of them with silver percentages that tone in funny colors. But indeed it is on a steel cent planchet.

(Sorry, Fred, I had a submission already almost-packed and heading to the other 50%, and I stuck this in for the ride. It would only have gotten a 'genuine' holder in any case, due to the small rust spot. But still, I'm not complaining!)
