Jason's 7000th post challenge

[jcuve]

As per the last several milestones, I yet again have a contest. Hopefully this one is easier than the last. I have three coins (1., 2., & 3.) below: describe each one.

You can be simple or complex. If you are an expert on error coins - wait until I post the answers to chime in :tinysmile_twink_t:

Guess - have fun - and thanks LCR for being such a great place!

1.) off center strike that streched or i would say with killer trails.
2.)broad strike.
3.) Thin planchet? brockage?

Im just a die chip guy so these are wild to me. But at least someone might get this right and we all can learn from these examples.

[errorseeker928]

1. off metal
2. off center
3. struck through grease

Though all are guesses, at least I have tried.

[jfines69]

1) Partial brokage on a blank planchet
2) Off metal thin planchet
3) Thin planchet

These are guesses for me also... This is cool... Thanks Jason and Congrats on 7000!!!

[copperlover]

1. Partial Brockage
2. Out of collar off center strike.
3. Broadstrike

[graveyard_guy]

1) struck off center
2) multiple struck
3) weak strike (AKA... die adjustment strike)

[jcuve]

[Cdiddle]

That Wheat is an amazing coin!!..I really like it

[wolfkill]

:nerd: i dont know, but great minds like to know how much they worth ???:nerd:

[atarian]

since i like the wheat penny i bet that is the most expensive and the lincoln memorial cent is the least expensive due to not looking as cool as the other 2.

Thanks to all who participated!

The answers are:

1. Off-center stretch strike

2. Post strike damage (I know it looks cool, but it's PSD/PMD)

3. Lincoln struck on a rolled-thin planchet

[atarian]

Can you make me a #2 to go? :) Great way to teach us about different errors we normally dont run across often

[Cdiddle]

Thank you Jason. These type of quizzes are a great help in the learning process. Your coins are great also.

3. Lincoln struck on a rolled-thin planchet
1. Yep!
2. That explains why I could not figure out what happened.
3 Just for my info, how do you tell it is a thin planchet versus an adjustment strike from a picture.

Without knowing the weight (or seeing a pic from the side) I would admit it is hard - I would look for the absence of proto-rims - and then judge the character of the metal to see if it was a split planchet or a rolled-thin planchet.

My guess would have been thin planchet, but I am not exactly sure why

Neat thread, nice coins!
