Should This Be A New Page?

6 berichten • 141 keer bekeken

I created a new page that is very similar to N#43872

 

Here are the pictures. Note how one side is thicker than the other. 


 

I am thinking it should be a new page since it doesn’t mention Utah, the obverse lettering is different, and the reverse is.. well, reversed! 

 

What do you all think?

My opinion is that it does not need a page of its own. Main reason being is that only one person possibly would own the  only example and no one else would. Then Numista could be cluttered with one of a kind examples when a search is performed.

I'm not familiar with these tokens, but you either have a new type, which deserves a new listing here, or you have an error.

I'm not an error expert but this seems to be a strike through of a die cap.  One token was struck and got stuck on the die.  When the next planchet gets struck it gets the impression of one die and the impression of the coin that was stuck on the die. This causes the image to be in reverse.  

I don't think this should get a different page because it is in error. 

Do you think it would be worth mentioning in Comments?

Nice find, but definitely an error and should not be included as a new page.  This is a brockage error where a planchet was not ejected after striking and the next planchet is struck with the die on one side and the “stuck” token on the other, creating a sunken, mirror image.  The “stuck” token is the die cap, which becomes misshapen over time until it is finally ejected or removed.  Because we do not include errors as new types, this should not get a different page.

 

Here is another example of a brockage error for an Oklahoma 1 Mill Sales Tax Token.  In this case, the word Oklahoma is also not present because the blank planchet struck the die cap instead of the obverse die, producing a mirror image of the reverse side of the token.
