... as I specialize in Modern error coinage with extreme eye appeal.

I liked the eye appeal on this one, so I decided to go for it :)

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?

    Looks more than 5% off center to me.

    Damn shame it's not centered would have been a nice coin. I usually hate toning but that one is almost acceptable. Congrats!

    Sorry to say but you should have stayed in your lane on this one.

    Surfaces look hard from being cleaned, doctored, and turned in the holder.

    Broadstruck, Interesting.

    Not my series and I do not plan on really getting into the series, but I liked this one and still do.

    It is in a PCGS holder.

    it did not break the bank.

  • BroadstruckBroadstruck Posts: 30,497 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There's quite a few IC O/C out there in older non pronged PCGS & NGC slabs which have been re-colored.

    Not all of them have been cleaned, but many have been enhanced by a good dose of the blues.

    Thanks for the info.

    Curious as how they color copper in the holder? I know how they do silver. I know how they do copper out of the holder.

  • BroadstruckBroadstruck Posts: 30,497 ✭✭✭✭✭

    No problem my error interest mostly stops at 1947...

    So if you see something else modern that makes you drift feel free to run it by me :)

    Nice IHC error.... While I am not an error collector, that one just might have found it's way home with me.... Cheers, RickO

    It’s a great idea to change your track for a while... you generally come back refreshed... especially when you find a stunning piece like this one here!

  • TomthecoinguyTomthecoinguy Posts: 849 ✭✭✭✭

    Awesome coin!

    100 years ago it would have been considered modern.

    While I am willing to wait for a better image, seems Broadstruck has the better opinion at this time. still a very cool coin. Maybe It's enough to encourage me to find the 1907 Prussian 5 mark coin graded MS 65 by NGC that was broad struck... Possibly off centered a slight degree ... But that would involve me taking a picture.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Well Broadstruck did contradict himself and did back off this particular coin I think :*

  • braddickbraddick Posts: 24,823 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks closer to 10% off-center. Nice catch! Beautiful colors to boot.

    His first comment was “Surfaces look hard from being cleaned, doctored, and turned in the holder.” And his most recent one was “Was recolored while raw.” I might be mistaken, but don’t see that as a contradiction. I think he was stating that that coin was cleaned and recolored before it was slabbed and that it “turned” while in the holder.

    At least, I agree ... I almost always think a coin looks MORE off center than the percentage listed on the label .... can anyone explain this phenomenon? ..... is it a matter of being (in this case) 5% off at a higher striking point on the press or something?, as opposed to actually 5% off on the struck coin?

  • PurfrockPurfrock Posts: 545 ✭✭✭

    I like it. Nice purchase.

  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,461 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't get the 5% off center either - on my screen it's a 6" coin and offset by 5/8" which is 10%.

    Would appreciate an explanation by an error expert.... :D

    I am not an expert but I would have to guess that 100% off center would put the center at the edge of the coin rather than
    having the edge of strike completely off the coin (200% ?).

    I was thinking that 100% off center would show no strike at all but maybe 100 will get you half a coin.
