Help Identifying the error #2
November 23, 2008, 10:47:45 AM
To continue with coins that i think may have an error IMO  :).

The rim of this coin doesnt seem to be of uniform thickness, so;

Is this an error?
What is the error name?
Does this increase the coin value?

Thanks for your help  :)

Amr :) :) :)

There is a name for this, but I can't remember what it is :-\
I don't think it is valuable.

I'd call it a slightly off centre strike.  Not really any extra value in Australia, too many of them around.

Thanks for the link :), I am quite sure that this wont increase the value, but is it considered an error and if so what is its name and what caused it?

Please pardon my many questions  :-[

It is simply an off-centre die.  Yes, you could consider it an error, but it is probably within the mint's specification tolerances.  The technician (?) would probably note the off-centre and adjust the machinery accordingly.  Interesting, but of little value.

Thanks Yass  :)

So it is an error
The error name is off-center die
it adds no value to the coin

Thank you very much to all of you  :)

Amr :) :) :)

It's probably a mis-aligned die. The striking  die wasn't properly centered over the anvil die. It's very common.
