Speaker’s Wor[l]d
Error Coins

a presentation by Arthur Schattke and Steven Mills,
to our August 9, 2023 meeting

The program was based upon a PowerPoint presentation written by Ken Potter and provided courtesy of CONECA, the Combined Organizations of Numismatic Error Collectors of America. Starting with the provided script, Arthur Schattke and Steven Mills added their experience and knowledge to make this long and informative program an enjoyable experience. Arthur quickly covered the current die making process (hubs and dies, both master and working), then he covered the current minting process (from metal coil to finished coin). By knowing the production steps, we are better able to identify where and how a specific error example could be made.

A table of the weights, composition, and tolerances of the various US coin denominations, along with the corresponding years, was followed by a table of weights of wrong-stock US coins. These tables, along with other resources, have been produced by specialists, based upon years of observations on encountered error coins; these resources are a great aid in determining the nature of a particular “odd” piece. The book Mint Errors to Die For by Joseph P. Cronin explains more than 250 error coins that escaped the US Mint, while Strike it Rich with Pocket Change – Error Coins Bring Big Money by Ken Potter and Dr. Brian Allen, now in its fifth edition, tries to value the different error types. The collector base wants error coins that were struck by the mint – beware of coins with post-mint steps intended to deceive collectors.

As for tools, a scale accurate to 0.01grams is needed. The Hastings Triplet magnifiers are recommended: a 7x or 10x are good for quickly checking many coins, with a 14x used for closeup followup examinations; using a 20X for any length of time can be tiring. That was followed by explaining the difference between an error and a variety (at the risk of over simplifying, a variety encompasses all coins struck by a die with some distiguishing markings/defects, while each error coin is a unique result of something going wrong).

The terminology has changed over the years, as more knowledge has been built up. As an example, the terms “Blank” and “Planchet” were covered – these terms refer to different items. A blank is the name of a disk punched from a coin strip, while a planchet is the name of a blank that has been given an upset rim by being run through an Upset Mill. The terms “Type-I” and “Type-II” are holdovers from long ago, although sometimes still used as synonyms for blank and planchet; the author of this PowerPoint presentation strongly deprecates the use of the terms Type-I and Type-II.

Steven told us about the program’s individual error coins, starting with a 1923-S Lincoln cent; it has streaks and laminations due to an Improper Alloy Mix of the zinc and tin with the copper. More error examples of Lincoln cents followed, including: a 1955 Struck on Damaged Planchet, a 1961 Struck on Split Planchet, and a 1974-D Struck on Delaminated Planchet. A piece of Lincoln cent strip with many partially punched out blanks was shown, followed by a blank showing a slightly off-center incomplete prior punch (the strip must have been moved slightly after the first incomplete attempt at punching out a blank), and then a 1973-D struck on an incompletely punched planchet.

One slide showed a group of silver alloy dime-sized blank and planchet clips, which are artifacts from an early 1970s effort at making counterfeit 1942/41 dimes. They were returned by the government (after they were deemed not counterfeits, themselves), but thousands were sold in the 1980s as silver dime blanks; they are a plague on the hobby to this day.

The next group of slides showed a range of denominations struck on a range of clip shapes (crescent, straight edge, bow tie, ragged clip, corner clip, and assay clip). They were followed by multiple errors involving US clad coinage, which should consist of two copper-nickel layers sandwiching a copper core. A single thin copper-nickel layer had parts of a Washington quarter design on both sides, but most design areas did not strike up due to the thinness of the piece. There was a 1984-P Roosevelt dime missing about half of the copper-nickel layer on the reverse, a 2006-P South Dakota state quarter missing the copper-nickel layer on the obverse, and a 1999-P Kennedy half dollar struck (weakly) on only a copper core.

In 1990, the mint stopped punching a mint mark into each working cent and nickel die, opting to place a mint mark on each master die; the change was made to the other denominations in 1991. By reducing the number of times a mint mark was added, each occurrence could be checked more carefully; that reduced the number of missed mistakes. A shown 1975-D nickel had a very high D mint mark (and a small cud), but most often the various mint mark positions are barely noticed. Two more-noticed mint mark mistakes were when the mint mark was doubled and when the mint mark was applied for one mint and then was applied for a different mint; we saw a 1953-D Lincon cent with the D double punched, and then a 1946-S Lincoln cent with the S struck over a D. Since all coins struck by a die with a mint mark mistake show that mistake, each of these is technically a variety coin and not an error coin – the same can be said about overdated coins.

A coin struck by a misaligned die would show the design perfectly centered on one side and the design shifted on the other side; we saw a 1976-D bicentennial Kennedy half dollar showing this. But most times, an off-center strike shows the designs on both sides shifted by the same ammount, because the dies were aligned but the planchet was not aligned with the dies. Sometimes the off-center strike might be before or after a regular strike was made on the planchet; we saw a triple struck quarter, so anything is possible. But a planchet with two small partial designs struck on both sides might have been struck only once – if the coin press used dual or quad pairs of dies, a misplaced planchet would be struck once by two pairs of dies; we saw an example of a nickel so struck, but neither partial strike showed a date.

When a pair of dies come together with no planchet in between them, the dies “clash,” leaving each die with a weak impression of the other die. We saw a 1985-P nickel made from strongly clashed dies; if a clashed die is observed, the mint might try to abrade or polish the die to remove most signs of the clashing, and inadvertantly remove some of the die’s details. Usually the result is barely noticed and no one pays extra for such coins – exceptions are the 1922 No D Lincoln cent, and the 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo nickel.

Most of our club members should be familiar with brockages. We were shown many different types of Lincoln cent brockages, including Full Obverse, Full Reverse, and a Counter Brockage (also known as a Brockage Maker). The longer a Brockage Maker remains stuck to a die (and the more times it is strck against a planchet to make a brockage), the more spread out and blurry the design on the exposed side becomes, and the more spread out and blurry will be the “reversed design” side of a produced brockage.

We saw many examples of a coin design struck on the planchet for a different denomination. And even an example of a 1998 Lincoln cent struck on a 1997 Lincoln cent. Accidents can happen – a planchet or coin can be stuck in a bin used to transport items, only to work itself loose at a later time. We saw eamples of coins struck through foreign objects (wire, cloth); a coin struck on a planchet fragment; and a “dropped character” when the grease filling of a character fell out of that character and ended up on a different part of the die, maybe embedded in a struck coin, or maybe remaining stuck on the die and appearing on many struck coins.

This long and informative program showed more types of errors, but this report is long enough. You should have attended this meeting!

Show and Tell

Items shown at our August 9, 2023 meeting,
reported by Deven Kane.

  1. Melissa Gumm showed four different portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, each from a different country.
    1. A $1 note of the Commonwealth of Australia, of the style used 1966-1972. The front has dark brown on orange with multicolor under print, a coat of arms at center (featuring stylized kangaroo and Emi), and Queen Elizabeth II at right. The back features stylized Aboriginal figures and animals. The note’s watermark is James Cook. This note can be dated to 1968 by the note’s signatures: H.C. Coombs, Governor of Reserve Bank of Australia; and R.J. Randall, Secretary of Treasury. Melissa wondered if this was this a souvenir her dad brought home from his time there?
    2. A 50¢ note of The Bahamas Government, from 1965. The front has purple on multicolor under print, with Queen Elizabeth II at the left. Melissa pointed out how the denomination is represented in each corner as a fraction: $½. The back features a Straw Market scene, with coat of arms at right, all in amazing color. The watermark is a shellfish.
    3. A £1 note of the Bank of England, of the type used 1960-1978. The front is printed in deep green on multicolor under print, featuring a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the right. The watermark is Laureate heads in continuous vertical row at left. The back has Britannia seated with a shield in circle at center of note. The Standard Catalog of World Paper Money describes a watermark to left on back as well, but that does not seem possible. Based on JQ Hollom’s signature as the Chief Cashier, the note is dated to 1962-1966.
    4. A $20 note of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, of the style used 1999-2014. The front is green to orange, and features Queen Elizabeth II facing front at center with parliament building under print at left; signature of Governor Graeme Wheeler. The back features the New Zealand falcon with its Maori name at bottom, Karearea. Evolving security features of this polymer note, first issued in 1999, are seen in either right or left corners: an oval with a serated edge and 20 inside, and a feather. The watermark is Queen Elizabeth II at right when looking at the front of the note. This note can be dated to 2013, knowing that the first 2 digits of the serial number are the last two digits of the four-digit year.
  2. Richard Hathaway showed a Royal French hammered coin, a 1555 Lyon Douzain from King Henri II, 1547-1559. He is known for his involvement in wars over French claims in Italy and the severe persecution of French Protestants. He died in 1559 at the age of 40 from a jousting injury where he was struck in the eye by a shard of a broken lance. One side features a design with alternating ‘H’s and crowns and has the inscription SIT NOMEN DNI BENEDICTVM 1555. The other side features the French coat of arms and the inscription HENRICVS 2 DEI G FRANCORV REX. This side also features the D mintmark for Lyon. In addition to the mintmark, this coin can be identified as being from Lyon by a few other methods. There is a clover (another mark of the Lyon mint), an ‘A’ (the mark for the head of the mint), and a crescent (the mark for the engraver of the mint), all at the 11 o’clock position on both sides of the coin. Additionally, each side has a dot underneath the 12th letter of the inscription on each side, counting clockwise. This is an old method of marking the mints before the French started using lettered mintmarks in 1540, and evidently some mints continued using the old method and started using lettered mint-marks.
    The coin is a low percentage silver coin with a diameter of about 25mm, but weighs only 2.6 grams. Contrast this to a US quarter which is about 24.3 mm and weighs almost 5.7 grams. This coin is very light and thin. These coins were made from 1548-1561 at over two dozen mints across France, and they are some of the earliest dated French coins. They were made in very large quantities, particularly in 1549-1552, with Numista reporting mintages of well over 1 million pieces for many mints. The 1548 issues and the issues of the late 1550s and early 1560s are much more challenging to find. Additionally, there are many year-mint combinations that have never been found. Detailed information on the issues of this series is found in Monnaies Royales Francaises de Louis XI a Henri IV, 1461-1610, published by Editions Victor Gadoury.
  3. John Riley took a vacation to Japan in late July – his mother-in-law lives there and his son works in Yokohama. John’s son showed him around one weekend, including taking in a Tokyo coin shop where he obtained three pattern coins in clay (sometimes mistaken as porcelain). Produced as emergency money in the final days of the second world war, only the reddish clay one sen pieces showing Mount Fuji unofficially circulated in the area of the Osaka mint. The five sen coin is a particular prize – John has never run across one in the US. The coins were produced in a number of colors, one a dark blue and some are in white clay.
  4. Laurence Edwards reported on his visit to the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. The Hunterian owns one of the most extensive numismatic collections in the world. It was initially formed by Dr. William Hunter (1718-1783), who collected in several areas and donated his collections to establish this museum at the University of Glasgow. The current Curator of Numismatics at The Hunterian is Jesper Ericsson, who welcomed Laurence to Kelvin Hall on a sunny Wednesday morning (May 17, 2023). He had expressed interest in Scottish and British trade tokens, as well as US colonials, and trays were waiting for him upon arrival. A write-up of the trip appeared in the E-Sylum, including pictures and bibliographical references, at https://www.coinbooks.org/v26/club_nbs_esylum_v26n34.html#article11
  5. Deven Kane started by showing a 2016 news story of coins from the Roman Empire being found in the ruins of a Japanese castle. Although interesting, this is not shocking – coins have been valued for their metal content and many times were used far from home. After the fall of Rome in the fifth century, the Vandals started minting bronze coins with the denominations of 1, 4, 12, 21, 42, and 83 Nummi, and apparently also brought Sesterti and Dupondi of the first and second centruries back into circulation, after marking their value in Nummi. Such marks are thus known on Sesterti as 83 Nummi (LXXXIII) and on Dupondi as 42 Nummi (XLII). The Vandals countermarked Constantinian bronzes for the smaller denominations, and coins of earlier emperors such as Galba and Vespasian for the bigger ones. Interestingly both As and Dupondii seem to bear the same countermarks. Deven showed us:
    1. A Dupondius of Vespasian countermarked by the Vandals in Africa to be worth 42 nummi. The obverse has Vespasian's radiated head surrounded by the legend: IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P COS V CENS. The reverse has a standing Felicitas holding a caduceus in one hand and a cornucopia in the other.
    2. An As of Vespasian countermarked by the Vandals in Africa to be worth 42 nummi. The obverse of the coin, from the Lyon mint in 77-78, has a laureate head of Vespasian surrounded by the legend: IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG COS VIII P P. The reverse has a standing Fides holding a hook in one hand and a cornucopia in the other.
    Vespasian was the last of the four Emperors in the year 69, and ruled until his death in year 79. He was one of the able emperors, and he was a builder. To give us an idea of Vespasian’s sense of humor, Deven mentioned that, as his death approached, he allegedly said, “Alas, I think I am turning into a god” (a good Emperor was usually deified soon after death). In contrast to the large structures built during his rule, Deven showed a picture of a vespasienne (a public street urinal) located on Boulevard Arago in Paris.
  6. Dale Lukanich showed a large-size $10 note of the Joliet National Bank, which had Charter #4520. The bank was organized on October 29, 1890; chartered on February 16, 1891; and went into receivership on February 10, 1932. Of the large size notes, it had issued $1,942,800 with $16,200 outstanding at its close; 23 large size notes are known today. The bank was located at 222 N. Chicago Street; Dale showed a picture postcard with the six atory building, followed by an ad from the 1912 Joliet City Directory promoting its Christmas Saving Club which offered 3% interest. A cropped image of a proof sheet from the BEP was followed by a $10 note of the Series of 1902 (Plain Back) from sheet #16540 bearing serial number A432897E. The faint signatures of Chas. G. Pearce as the Cashier and W. Redmond as the President correspond to the 1923-1931 period. After entering receivership, bank deposits were frozen for more than two years, until November 2, 1934, when depositors could get a check for up to 40% of their deposit – 15,000 checks, totaling $2,087,900, were issued; the largest check was for $500,000.
  7. Gerard Anaszewicz showed two similar coins.
    1. A Russian 5 Kopeck coin dated 1787, struck under Catherine the Great with an EM mint-mark for the Ekaterinburg mint. It is a nice coin, but fairly common.
    2. A Swedish Counterfeit 5 Kopeck coin, also dated 1787, was struck in 1788 under King Gustav III for use by Swedish troops in the Russian frontier during a war with Russia. These coins were struck at the Avesta mint in Sweden but carry the EM mint-mark. The extremely rare 1764 and 1778 dated Counterfeits were also made in 1788. The biggest difference is the date has a straight vertical stand in the 7, while the Russian coin has a more curved stand. The Swedish coin has a different obverse crown – royal, not imperial – and the Swedish coins show sharper engraving. The Avesta 5 Kopeck coins are very rare and seldom appear in auction. These coins are highly collectible by both Swedish and Russian collectors.

Minutes of the Chicago Coin Club Board

August 16, 2023

The meeting was called to order by club President John Riley at 6:00PM CDT.

Board members present for the meeting were John Riley, Melissa Gumm, Deven Kane, Scott McGowan, Paul Hybert, Carl Wolf, Bill Burd, Mark Wieclaw, Steve Zitowsky, Rich Lipman, and Ray Dagenais. Absent were Jeff Rosinia and Elliott Krieter.

Old Business:

  1. Director and officer insurance update: Three quotes have been presented to the board. Great American at $811.00/year, Berkley at $951.00 + 15% fee /year, and Selective for $425/year; all with the $1,000,000 coverage. Comments that the Volunteer Act of 1997 does give some protection but would require attorney costs to use the act in the event of a need. Board discussion indicated there is very little downside to getting the protection. The newest quote of $425 is also below the $500 expenditure limit that would require a full club vote. The board voted unanimously to purchase the $425 D&O insurance.
  2. Discussion on the Future Projects committee and should it have a say with investing part of club funds in an investment instrument. This addressed the point raised at the August general club meeting about investing funds by a club member. The board voted to direct the treasurer to invest in a CD or Money Market interest bearing account a percentage of the club’s funds with final approval by the club president. The board also discussed the possibility of using some club funds to sponsor premiums for numismatic exhibitors at future ILNA shows. This is pending further development of ILNA shows and exhibit programs. To date, no other ideas for using club funds have been submitted to the committee or board. To help generate ideas, the club secretary will prepare a survey to send to club members.
  3. Holiday banquet committee reported the three options being explored:
    1. Coopers Hawk, Burr Ridge $67 per person, $2500 minimum with room limit of 50.
    2. Capri, Palos Heights $40 per person. No minimum, room limit of approximately 100.
    3. Cliff Dwellers Club, Chicago Downtown $20-30 per person, $1400 room charge with room limit of 100.
    Past December banquets have had 42-54 in attendance.
  4. Chatter Advertising – Need to resend proposal letter to Mike at CNG a review of emails show past contact to an SBCGLOBAL email which may be defunct.
  5. Club Committee meetings schedule discussion indicated committee chairs should coordinate meeting schedules with Paul and Scott to ensure they are publicized for members.
  6. Board asked for post-event discussion about the 2023 ANA World’s Fair of Money (WFoM) and any take-aways to help for planning 2024. The 2023 show went well and quite a few CCC members were in attendance in both a volunteer and attendee capacity. There was discussion at the 2023 show to review of the Silver Round Raffle in the Collector Exhibit area. Future shows reported were as:
    1. 2024 National Money Show – Colorado Springs, Colorado.
    2. 2024 ANA WFoM – Rosement, Illinois.
    3. 2025 ANA WFoM – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
    4. 2026 ANA WFoM – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

New Business:

  1. The board discussed the process to fill board position vacancies and documentation of club processes and systems. The club by-laws detail board position selection but do not state vacancy provisions. In the event an appointed position becomes vacant, a new appointment can/will be made to fill the position. In the event an elected position becomes vacant the club nominating committee shall review and select candidate(s) to put forward for a club vote to complete the vacant position term. As the club operated under Robert’s Rules, if a vacancy occurs in the position of President or First Vice President, the next officer in line shall move up. This discussion also included documentation of various procedures including set up of digital equipment for online meetings, use of show and tell overhead projector, inventory of forms for meetings at the CBA, process for access to Google drives for Secretary and Treasurer for historical club documents, and any other process that the club routinely uses.
  2. Hall of Fame committee clarification – committee consists of Deven Kane, Carl Wolf, and Bob Feiler.

Next CCC Board Meeting will be on November 15, 2023, at 6:00PM CST.

President John Riley adjourned the meeting at 7:13PM CDT.

Featured Program: Robert D. Leonard — When Princes Overpromise: “Latin” Imitations of Byzantine Gold Coins, Minted by Geoffrey II Villehardouin of Achaea (Plus Sutton Hoo and King Offa)
This is an expanded version of a paper Bob presented at the 16th International Numismatic Congress in Warsaw last September. It discusses a series of mysterious “latin” imitations of the gold coins of Byzantine (Nicaean) Emperor John III Vatatzes, 1222-1254, showing how they can be detected and attributing them – on the basis of a hoard study and a contemporary chronicle – to Geoffrey II Villehardouin, Prince of Achaea. Modern fakes of these coins are pointed out. Two similar instances of princes overpromising and having to resort to making imitations, the Sutton Hoo ship burial and the papal gift of King Offa, are appended.
