France: 1 centime, km928, mint error [opgelost]

N#1

I found this today, since I had to enter a 1969 with a long tailed “9”.

In my humble opinion that's called a “cud” which is nothing else than a mint-error, which we normally don't show in the numista catalog. Furthermore “rebord” has been badly translated into “rim”, when it should have been “ledge”. Anyway I have made the CR to “ledge”.

I would really like to hear if you can agree on the mint error part? Nearly all the year lines have an extra for the “mint error”!

What's missing on the English side is the lengthy comment on the French side saying it is essentially a mint error/die defect.  I personally don't think it requires multiple additional year lines.  I think the comment itself is sufficient to explain why the same type of error is observed over almost 40 years.

The comment ends with, “It is therefore not different dies but a simple manufacturing defect.”

Unless it's a fractured master die, resulting in dozens or hundreds of altered work dies it simply needs no mentioning at all like all other die breaks.

Right, just a mint error and shall not be listed.

I added the French comment on the English page and merged lines accordingly.

Thanks!
