    Your coin does not have multiple different dates on it. You are seeing optical illusions, or pareidolia.

    You found a grease-filled die error that is missing much of the date. Put it in a 2x2 (and flatten the staples) and move on. There are other interesting coins out there that you aren't going to find if you keep spending time on this one.

    ** Pareidolia.**

    What you claim isn't even possible.

    Agreed.

    Please just look at the photos, my eyes are not playing tricks me. I'm stating what I see in the pictures. FACTS!

    Pareidolia is what your brain sees... even if it is not exactly what is there. If you really did spend $60 to send this in, you're going to be very disappointed in the results.

    Here's one for you to ponder...

    If in fact there were two dropped numbers that means the gunk that got clogged in the die dropped out. If that's the case, why is the date mostly missing? Clearly the grease-filled die was still grease-filled. 🤔

    The multiple dates are visible, my eyes are not playing tricks on me. I don't know how this minting error occurred, but it did. When it gets certified I'll show you. I appreciate a good challenging discussion, thanks.

    Nothing challenging about this. You're basically just shouting at clouds.

    It's not an optical illusion, the clogged dies full of grease and metal fell out and struck the coin a 2nd time resulting in 1992 and 1662 and 1962 depending on which angle the coin is tilted. Once this error is certified, I'll show you. Thanks for your opinion.

    Please just look at the pictures again. I uploaded them again. I can clearly see different dates showing depending on the tilt of coin. Dang ! My eyes are not playing tricks on me.

    A dropped letter/number would be struck into the coin. The surface would be smooth/level. If the dropped letter/number subsequently fell out then the letter/number would be incuse into the surface.

    The anomolies you are seeing appear to be raised so it can't be a dropped number.

    Only the "1' is raised.

    The two "6's" are not raised. They are flat.

    How do you "strike" a flat 6? Silk screen printing? It has to be either raised or incuse.

    It shows 1662, not that hard to see.

    What is see us a little discoloration above the 9 that you are interpreting as making a 6 out of the top loop of the 9. This is an excellent illustration of pareidolia.

    If you go to completed sales on Ebay these sell for between ten and twenty dollars. a little more, or a little less. Most only miss one or two numbers though.

    That's your problem - you don't understand the minting process. It's not enough to assume that it's an error because it looks different. You need to be able to explain how it happened in the minting process.

    I am just wondering what basis you will have for rejecting the TPG's assessment when it comes back as a simple grease-filled die.

    In any case, you are paying what is called "tuition" because you refused the free education that people were offering.

    I didn't refuse any free minting/coin/currency education. I try to learn as much as possible. People always tell me I'm super smart, however I don't let it go to my head. I live a humble life. I had a Super high GT Score on the Military ASVAB Test which represents incredible problem-solving abilities.

    The only thing that makes sense to me is that: a certain percentage of the chunk of the gunk that was clogged in the die fell out right before the coin was struck. From how the coin looks, the partial piece that fell out perfectly landed to align with the 2 "9's", then the coin was struck. This is why in the pictures you can see one fully raised "1", two "9's" that are barely raised, two "6's" that directly align with the circle part of the two "9's". Typically, the whole piece that has clogged the die falls out.

    You might have found something really good. If the experts at PCGS concur with you the naysayers, the LOLers, once again, will have egg on their faces. So, by all means submit your piece to our host here for evaluation. Even if you don't like or disagree with PCGS' opinion, make sure you follow up and let everyone here see for themselves what PCGS says.

    One of your problems here is extremely low post count. You haven't been "around the horn" like so many of us have. Having said this I break with the "LOL" crowd on this one. You get the benefit of the doubt with me. YOU have the coin in hand and seeing what you're seeing just like PCGS will once you get around to submitting it to them for evaluation. Submit and report findings.

    Another thing is you have only one star. Get more stars and you will be taken more seriously by most of the veterans. I'm trying to get a sixth star. Nobody here has six stars and I want to be first to get six stars. My magnum opus. First with six stars.

    You'll learn a lot here. Good luck with your submission. ;)

    So, could you explain this rare error rather than encourage a newbie to waste money?

    This is TERRIBLE advice. Clearly the OP is like 18 years old and has no clue what he's talking about and has demonstrated that repeatedly. What good does it do to have the coin in hand if he doesn't have the slightest idea what he is looking at?

    Also, stars and post count DON'T MATTER. Post reasonably and be a rational person and you'll get all the respect in the world. Spout inanities and ignore basic reality and you'll get treated in kind.

    Like you. Many have had issues with your posts for a long time but I mostly ignored them because they seemed harmless enough. This post of yours is the most intellectually bankrupt post I've seen in a long time.

    Well, stars and post count do matter around here. You'll figure it out eventually so don't fret about your relatively low post count. But first and foremost, avoid the temptation to lash out like you've just done. It's not a good look for you or the forum.

    Magnum opus. Six stars. I would probably give my sixth star after a month or so to a current five-star holding individual (not you, of course) who posts here with class and distinction and who I deem more worthy than myself to have such an honor bestowed on them. :|

    ... I think it's a 1992 D "Close AM" This was the only time I touched it without using gloves. This exactly how the penny came out of the roll of pennies from the bank/Loomis roll.

    Can someone please shed some light this ? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks

    One thing I can tell you for sure is that it is not from 1992 so it cannot be a 1992-D CLAM. Likely from 1993-1996 because the bow tie does not match ODV-37 for 1992. The obverse die was changed to version ODV-38 beginning in 1993. The reverse die was also changed to RDV-007 and that is why you have the close AM on the reverse [it is correct for the time period].

    Great pics BTW -- Very clear.

    edit: If you are thinking that the D mint mark is below that first 9 it is not [that would be pareidolia or PSD]. The mintmark is on the master die and none of the 93-96 LMCs have a mint mark in that location.
