Does my 1802 Swedish Skilling have an error? [решено]

7 сообщений • просмотрено 58 раз

On the back of the coin, the 1 in 12 of 1/12 is touching the line above. In most of the other images of this coin I have found the 1 in 12 of 1/12 is not touching the line above. Is this an error on my coin? If so does this make the coin more valuable? About how much is the coin worth?

 

Here are some other images of this coin for comparison:

 

 

 

Here is one image that looks similar to my coin:

Not an error.

Thanks for the response. I'm new to coins. What is a die variation? Are die variations more valuable?

This coin was made by stamping a piece of metal between two dies.

 

Because millions of the coins were produced and the dies eventually wear out and cannot be used any more, it means that many pairs of dies would have been used.

 

Today, technology helps to make the dies identical.  But in 1802 this was not the case, and there were small variations between the dies.

 

Because this was normal for that time, there is usually no difference in the value, unless there was something distinctive, for example a word spelled incorrectly (though even earlier, before spelling was standardized, sometimes this kind of difference was also “normal”)

This should give you some idea of die variations for this coin.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.
