1912-D 10c struck through detached reeding

I happened upon this Heritage listing, and found it quite fascinating. The encapsulated fragment gets its own cert#, plus the fact that the fragment stayed with the coin. Not to mention the error itself.

    Shame they didn't mention it's also a uncentered broadstrike.

    This might help the discussion - more coin less plastic.

    Wonder if @ErrorsOnCoins has slabbed coins and fragments like this.

    I wrote up that description, but I know
    I included 'Broadstruck', 'Brdstk', or
    'uncentered broad strike' (one of those!)

    I assume that description was left off the
    tag by accident.

    Question from the ignorant: (Me! :))

    Detached from what? Detached from the collar, or from another coin? Ignorant minds need to know.... :tongue:

    Detached from a prior coin's edge.

    Thanks....I feel today was a success, since I'm now a little less ignorant. :)

    I have handled (and have) many struck thru reeding errors which I find super cool.

    This is the first one that I have seen with the reeding included.

    Cool error! A shame there isnt a better way to slab the detached reeding. It appears unprofessional and might damage the fragment.
