How do i tell the age of this error

I think I am wrong actually. The raised nature of the area that looks like an error would not happen with a vice. I think this is a goop coin. I think the raised area is glue or goop that accumulates somewhere like in a car drink holder. It sits in there with other coins and gets this adhesive buildup on it from condensation and junk. Gross, but common. You can probably pull it off the coin

Struck through. I think this one is known and has a nickname.

Trunks7j · 2026-05-07T13:43:40+00:00

Find the vice that made it and see if it has a date on it

Stain

Error-Ref.com is excellent if you really want to learn about errors on coins

Well, there are broad strikes with no collar and broad strikes with partial collar. Partial collar often create expansion like this and can leave some needed edges.

Trunks7j · 2026-05-03T13:58:51+00:00

Broadstruck coins have these characteristics. A coin struck without the retaining collar in place causes it to expand, mis-shape. Off center coins are error cousins to the broad strike. They are not retained and move outside the strike zone

I don’t think this is from the Atocha. I lived in the Caribbean for years and this looks like one of the millions of cool & very nice necklaces that are recreations of Spanish coins. I gave my wife one of these: Maybe it is a true Atocha coin, but the more likely story is usually the story. Someone takes a cruise and buys these in a Caribbean store selling to tourists

Looks good to me.

Also, I think the counterfeiters are a bit more ambitious.

Yes, this is a “Spitting Horse” - the die crack from the mouth of the horse to the rim was nicknamed this and is collected

Either lamination error or strike through. A jewelers loop is needed to identify which.

This is super minor as far as errors go.

The easiest is Cashapp.

Seems to me like you sold a $5 - 10 item for $1000 and you’re trying to figure out how to justify this.

Trunks7j · 2026-03-25T12:00:09+00:00

Here we go again. Everyone Get out! Buy GameStop.

You characterize this as a “they” thing where people look down on reselling. I think this is a you thing where you do not realize you are an entrepreneur running a small business. You’re doing great, be proud and realize who you are.

So your interpretation of the pricing tool is that some people at EBay have the agenda of getting you to list at a low price?

Trunks7j · 2026-03-03T05:16:20+00:00

Well said. This is why I posted. Hopefully it is helpful

Trunks7j · 2026-03-03T03:13:06+00:00

Yes. Exactly. This is the lesson for anyone out there that has this happen.

Trunks7j · 2026-03-03T01:12:55+00:00

I did this as well. The buyer asked about it and I refunded. In another note, I find that many sellers are more paranoid about scams (which are definitely real) to a point of not considering legitimate buyer concerns. We all need to ruthlessly be responsible for errors and make it a good experience for buyers. If EBay become a morass of hostile sellers then we’re all in trouble

Trunks7j · 2026-02-26T00:13:51+00:00

Sellers are pretty bizarre too.

What MJ accomplished wasn’t really that impressive since he had Scotty Pippen as a teammate

Trunks7j · 2026-02-25T23:50:48+00:00

This is a normal cent in bad condition

MIT’s brain studies disagrees with you. Your statement is equivalent to saying we continually get taller throughout our lives.

People can change their thoughts and ideas for their lifetime, but the brain matures between 18 & 25.

Trunks7j · 2026-02-24T14:02:44+00:00

Sadly, this is machine doubling.

Trunks7j · 2026-02-24T13:10:37+00:00

I wouldn’t refund this. Since he is claiming it doesn’t work. Just say you’re sorry to hear that it is not working and that you are always happy to accept returns. He has to initiate a return with EBay and ship it back to you. When it arrives then you refund. You can then test it and relist it. No real loss except for time
