Please tell me about this error

[Rawzone]

I know the coin is a bad one but is this error rare or pretty commen?

does it bring any premium to a coin?

and what do you call it?

thanks.

As what is called ghosting. A constant pounding of the dies on the thin planchets eventually transfer part of their image to the other die. It's similar to die clashing but the dies do not actually come together. The transferred image is not as sharp as with die clashing.

Very interesting to see this error. I have had a coin for a while with a similar error, but I didn't know what it was.

 

It's on a Danish 1 Krone from 1947. Check it out.

Nice looking coin chris.

where you from? DK?

 

Deos this error happens often? or is it a bit rare?

[Conder101]

What error are you seeing, I don't see it.

Thanks Rawzone. As to whether it's a rare error - this is the only Danish coin with die ghosting that I've ever seen! Before reading this thread, I didn't even have any idea that this kind of error existed! Either I am very unlucky, or the error is really rare

 

Conder: the third and fourth image depicting the reverse has, I believe, the same die ghosting as Rawzone's coin, just not as clear. Probably because the coin is a different material (alumimun-bronze I believe?)

 

Yep, I'm from Denmark. I collected coins as a kid and just started collecting again about six months ago. I've been spending some time trying out different collecting areas, ancients, die errors, world coins etc. Not quite sure where I want to go yet with my collection. But I sure love my coins.

welcome to this forum chris.

 

Dette er et super sted og folk herinde er virkelig proffer og du kan hente meget hjælp her.

 

I believe i have seen some of these error in danish coins. but they never sold at a high price. its pretty rare that a danish coin will sell high because error.

i have even bought DD error coins for less then normal price

[ChrisHagen-migration]

Wow, that's pretty surprising. It's amazing how different the markets are for coins in the US and Europe.

[Conder101]

That explains why I didn't see an error. I don't consider die ghosting an error just an example of die wear.

[Rawzone]

Yep chris but you can get lucky on qxl maybe

 

its like UNC in Denmark is far from UNC in US

[ChrisHagen-migration]

Yeah thanks for the suggestion, I think I'll include it with my next batch of QXL auctions.
