2001 $1 Federation Upsets

[caivel]

Does anybody know whether the Federation upsets have the Small Obverse (joined IRB) or the large Obverse (separated IRB) or do they have both Small and Large Obverses? :scratch_one-s_head:

Good question.
Goldseeker would know

[Mister T]

No reason it couldn't be both I guess but I think the I R B (spaced) coins might be mint set only (at least I am yet to see one in change).

I have just examined a sample of the 300 odd 2001 COF Upsets I still have on hand and can state that ALL of those looked at show the "I" and "R" are separated but the "R" and "B" are joined.

Where some of the coins do have the "I" and "R" joined, I believe that this is through wear and tear and not a mint variety.

I have stated elsewhere that after looking at close to 500 of these error coins, that only one set of dies have been used and that I would say all these error coins came from the same press.

This can be qualified by the alignment of the reeding to the letters "IO" in the word "Federation".    The alignment is the same on all my rotations of the COF coin.
