Owner Comments
A beautiful and rare Broadstruck on Blank Mint Error Barber Quarter. Mint errors in any of the Barber coin series are very hard to find and this coin is in near uncirculated condition grading AU-58 by NGC.This coin still shows much mint luster and also has great eye appeal.
Some interesting facts about the year 1903 was that at the time this coin was struck the very first silent film “TheGreat Train Robbery”debuted.Also,Orville and Wilbur Wright become the first to fly a controlled,powered and sustained heavier-than-air airplane at Kitty Hawk,NC,on December 17,1903.

S$1 1922 CURVED CLIP @ 4:00 |

NGC MINT ERROR MS 63 |

Owner Comments
The United States Mint does in fact make mistakes as this coin shows.This is a 1922 Peace Dollar which was struck on a curved clipped planchet at 4:00.If you look at about 10:00 you will notice what is called the Blakesley Effect.Because of the lack of metal at the site of the clip, the opposite side from the clip will not always receive a raised rim at that point when going through the upset mill.Without the clip, a planchet would receive a nice evenly raised rim around the circumference of the blank planchet before being struck by the coining dies during the finale striking operation.

Owner Comments
This coin has a combination of errors including being struck 3 times. The first strike is centered,the second strike is 35% off-center and the 3rd strike being 90% off-center.This is a nice example of a mint error which is eye catching and in high grade.With the U.S.Mint tightening it’s quality control you very seldom see these types of errors anymore!
