| 1301 | Welcome to the Coin Club. We are an assortment of newbies, amateurs and experts with questions and answers for newbies, amateurs and experts in coin collecting, also known as numismatics. Whether you are just getting started, have been collecting for years or have simply found some old coins about the place that you’d like to sell, this is the place to ask your questions. No one has all the answers, and you may get five differing answers to the same question, yet each may be right in a manner of speaking, especially if opinions are involved. Opinions often vary. If you receive no answer to your query within 48 hours, please ask again. echoriath - 2013-02-13 21:47:00 |

Yes, best not to clean it. Die cracks qualify it as an error coin. Rarer dates do not, in theory, benefit from "error" status, but it may have greater value than a normal one to someone who's keen. echoriath - 2013-02-16 21:12:00 |

Yup, thin planchetts do occur and qualify as an error. echoriath - 2013-02-16 21:13:00 |
| 1318 | Rarer dates do not??? Edited by chefman1 at 9:59 pm, Sat 16 Feb chefman1 - 2013-02-16 21:56:00 |
| 1319 | yes please cashintheattic - 2013-02-16 22:40:00 |
| 1320 | There are identified errors (e.g., 1955 doubled-die US cent) recognised by numismatic grading agencies, organisations and the like. Other errors are yet to be found and formally recognised. Seems likely that the 1935 Threepence has seen enough scrutiny that these die cracks would be documented and recognised. I'm no expert on NZ coins, so perhaps that's noted somewhere. The view expressed in the Red Book runs like this: Error coins of rare date issues generally do not command a premium beyond their normal values. Naturally, there will be exceptions.

| 1321 | Sweet thanks Echoriath!!! cashintheattic - 2013-02-16 23:13:00 |
| 1322 | 1935 = wide date between the 3-5 chefman1 - 2013-02-16 23:17:00 |
| 1323 | Well, there you go. Peter is on the case! echoriath - 2013-02-16 23:19:00 |
| 1324 | When a die is damaged, usually some number of the coin get made with the error, but through wear and tear, loss/attrition, fixing/removing the faulty die, exact numbers are unknown and values can vary widely. The 1935 Threepence is interesting because of the rather limited production. I suspect your auction has many watchers and will be closely observed, cita. echoriath - 2013-02-16 23:26:00 |
| 1325 | Indeed, Echoriath is quite right. The cartel observes with great interest. chrisr5 - 2013-02-17 08:53:00 |

| 1330 | If you plan to list it, an exact thickness could be a help. If you want to be really fancy, borrow a vernier calliper and find the exact thickness of the coin. echoriath - 2013-02-17 22:17:00 |
| 1331 | So on the topic of die cracks, I welcome opinions on this: http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/255170603.jpg It runs from the "L" in "LIBERTY" to the "I" in "IN", then down to the "1" and returns back around to the neck. There's also a raised circular bit that encircles the head in a tighter radius than this crack, but that's harder to capture on camera. echoriath - 2013-02-18 18:29:00 |

I want to say 1915. It looks like there's a five on the right beside the ribbon, but that puts the five higher up than the other numbers, so I'm not really sure. It certainly seems like it's from the teens. Maybe 1918? Have you checked the back to see if it's on a mound? Remember that the 1913 has the two different types. If there's no line above "FIVE CENTS", it's 1913. (It's a Bison Nickel, bruce.) Edited by echoriath at 10:38 pm, Wed 20 Feb echoriath - 2013-02-20 22:37:00 |
| 1339 | there you go bruce, its marked in red were the date should be. chefman1 - 2013-02-20 22:40:00 |

I ask because in the Red Book they show a photo of a coin missing about half the obverse design and another with an obvious cud, but in the text they describe "noticeable, raised die-crack lines." Maybe both photos are of cuds since cracks are harder to show in the low-res photos in there? echoriath - 2013-02-20 22:44:00 |

Yes, perhaps 16, with the edge of the six damaged. There looks to be a vertical line like the left edge of a five, but as I say, that would put the five too high. Any mint mark? echoriath - 2013-02-20 22:46:00 |
