    Just Bob got a reaction from The Neophyte Numismatist in 1970 d quarter 180 reversed die   
    This coin is a great circulation find, and is likely worth more than $30 to the right buyer, but I doubt it will ever bring $300, much less $2000. Probably the most recognized name in the field of numismatic errors is collector, dealer, and authenticator Fred Weinberg. His error collection was sold by Heritage last year. In the offerings was a 1965 Special Mint Set quarter, graded SP62 by PCGS, that was rotated 180 degrees. It was slabbed in a special Fred Weinberg Collection slab. It brought $180 including the 20% buyer's fee. This was an uncirculated SMS coin with a notable provenance, and it brought less than $200. Draw your own conclusions.

    The Adams Lumber Company was incorporated in 1896 and operated a mill that the Adams brothers had built in 1892, located two miles south of Morton, Mississippi in Scott County. The mill remained in operation until 1904.
    This 5 cent token is unlisted. The only other known denomination is a $1.00 token.

    The certificate is signed by the president of "Grumpy, Inc." Interesting name for a coin dealer, to be sure.

    Congratulations! I'm glad I was wrong about it being damaged.
    About the Blakesley effect: it really doesn't matter the reason a section of the planchet is missing. The effect is caused by uneven pressure when the blank is run through the upsetting  mill. But - and here is where my brain slipped a cog - this coin never went through that process. I should have given my answer a lot more thought before I responded.
    This thread has also reminded me that I need to do a lot more studying on 18th &19th century US and world coin manufacturing processes. Thank you for posting.

    Just Bob got a reaction from RWB in Is it April 1st already? And just because no one has mentioned this yet.   
    So, let's see, if I have an Indian Head cent with one of Rick Snow's Eagle Eye stickers which I have also sent to CAC to get stickered, now I can send it to David Hall and get a CMQ sticker. If I keep going, eventually my slab will end up looking like a North Korean general in dress uniform.

    Just Bob got a reaction from Mr.Bill347 in No Quarter for these quarters. . . (p1) - Clipped Planchet, Legit?   
    It is my understanding that the Blakesley Effect is caused during the raising of the proto-rim in the upsetting mill. The blank is forced into an increasingly smaller space between a stationary die and a roller, which squeezes the edge into a raised rim. If the blank has a missing area on the edge, there is no "resistance" for the die to push against, so no rim is formed. (Hard to describe or imagine if you don't know what the upsetting mill looks like.)
    Here is a screen shot of a still from the US mint's video about planchet formation. You can see pressure being applied to the planchet from the sides to form the rim.
