NewP have not received it yet but its a PCGS MS62 with no error attribution. There is plenty going on with this coin obverse and reverse. Just for fun look at it like a puzzle and see if you can identify the errors?

    You're going to have to help me with this one. I see die cracks and die clashes, but neither of these are errors, what am I missing?

    I do not have this coin in hand yet so I want to know what you see if you look on the bottom right between the second and third pillars in the roman numeral three on the obverse tell me what you see?

    I see something between the 2nd and 3rd pillar about in the middle up and down. Don't know what it is.

    As far as the extra "S" see my thread on New Roosevelt variety.

    now i see that.

    as far as your supertorch... is the S the same size as the S in the initials on the obverse "JS"? i pondered this but never posted it to your thread.

    I've stared at that pic so long, I think I saw the Virgin Mary. lol

    Looks like two clashes close together.

    doesn't look like die clash as there is rotation


    looks loke flip over double strike

    that would explain letters on periphey


    unless coin has die rotation which I can not determine from picks

    Teva - Sorry I don't see what you are seeing.

    I have learned from experience that if you look hard enough and "want" to see something, you will see it.

    Than pic is just too blurry. And where would the head of Liberty on a 3 cent silver come from????

    I think that the top of the "S" is covered by the gasket PCGS uses to hold the coin in place. On a tiny coin, like the silver three cent piece, that holder device is often more noticeable. As for the rest, it is clash marks, and those are not considered to be errors so far as I know.

    The OP was titled just for kicks.
    I do not have it in hand and and the coin is heavely toned so you may be right. But here is what I think. This three cent piece
    got struck in a seated liberty half dime die maybe multiple times
    before it was struck as a three cent peice??
    The coin ships monday I should have it in hand by mid week.
    I will do some high res photos and see if I am correct??
    The photos that I have to work with now are low res internet display photos so thats the best I can provide and all I have to work with. I started trying to explain that off size out of place S
    on the obverse so maybe I am seeing ghosts it is the season!!
