Post a Neat, Inexpensive Error

A lot of the errors that tend to get attention are a bit pricey. So here, post an error that was inexpensive... perhaps an on-a-whim purchase because the coin was neat and seemed like a bargain.

I'll start with this clipped Peace. You don't see many that are clipped, and for a low price, how could I say no?

I sold the IHC, but have kept the Washington Quarter. Both were purchased for $10-20 on eBay.

Mis-aligned Dies and Partial Collar. Half of the edge toward the reverse is reeded with the other half plain...also called a railroad rim.

Something that a non-specialist would buy on a whim because it looked cool. I'd say for this perhaps under $250. Under $50 is even better

All of these came in a lot that I paid $2.50 each for...

coindudeonebay · September 7, 2008 11:57AM

I have a blank steel planchet, really doesn't look like much, kinda rusty... only way you can tell for sure is that it's magnetic.

You Suck A LOT

I want that webbing!

OffMetal · September 7, 2008 12:04PM

This one was inexpensive enough for me to buy

coindudeonebay · September 7, 2008 12:04PM

Oh yea, I also have a steel planchet webbing, can't remember the size, but it seems to be about 5x8 or so from what I remember.

<< Oh yea, I also have a steel planchet webbing, can't remember the size, but it seems to be about 5x8 or so from what I remember. >>

I think most of the steel cent webbings are about the same size...

I bought this on ebay several years ago:

Wow, we must have bought from the same guy. Haven't seen another for years. I saw one somewhere, I think it was on Fred Weinbergs site? Could be wrong there. Was smaller and higher price than I paid. Not saying it's not worth it, seems to be rare and no one who has one seems to be selling. Here's mine:

pennyannie · September 7, 2008 1:18PM

Northeast Nusmatics has some steel cent "webbing". Priced at about 350 dollars, been there a while

Gandyjai · September 7, 2008 1:25PM

Lee, that's one HELL of a DIVA (Designated Ike Variety) and is quite significant!
See the "Skin Cancer" or "Unicorn Nub" on the brow?
LOTS of "stuff" going on with that clashed Ike!
JMHO,

seanq · September 7, 2008 1:29PM

Marty - I remember that lot, I think I bought a bunch of the left-overs including some O/C dimes. If I knew then what you'd paid for them I'd have sent you a giant lollipop with my check. $2.50 for that indented half is obscene.

Anyway, none of these cost me more than $100, most much less:

...and finally, this one cost me exactly $100:

got this in change today and the mintmark is almost directly under the 9.
It just looked strange.

here is another one that cost me $11 it's a 1889o die crack Morgan dollar, not a bad buy

lordmarcovan · September 7, 2008 5:36PM

Jeremy, your clipped Peace dollar is remarkably similar to mine. Yours is in nicer grade with nicer luster, but mine cost me less than melt (ten bucks).

This off-center/indent Lincoln (bronze) cost me $7 about two years ago.

The bowtie indent dime cost me $35 six/seven or so years ago. Both buyer and seller agreed this is likely a bargain.

This uniface clip Jefferson cost me $45, but around 1995, maybe earlier.
