Enjoy your holiday season, Chris

Nice to see the Buffalo and Barber nickels. Looks like you're branching out

MWallace

Does the 1942 5c/1c have a War Nickel mint mark?

No, I wish, that would have been soo cool, and tripled the price

No, If it was it would be on the label.

The cent softness and thickness would cause a weaker than normal strike.

the 36 oc is so good 🤩

I like each and every one of those! I don’t know why I like them more than
modern coins.......I used to collect a lot of moderns and over the years I grew away from them

Many have your view.

I absolutely love the mint state modern major error coinage way better. You get soo much more bang for your buck.

Also, major mint error coins produced from 2002 and beyond are some of the rarest years for major error coins.

The interesting thing is that there are certainly collectors of modern errors but not many post here.

Here's one of mine:

1974 Cent on Clad Dime Planchet

@Zoins do these come from circulation, or - ? just flabbergasted that things like this can exist in modern era

ifthevamzarockin

@ɹoʇɔǝlloɔ Just do an ebay search for "cent on dime" and you should find a few.

Catbert

I love all these cool errors, but must say that the ugly white prongs interfere with my enjoyment.

So @ɹoʇɔǝlloɔ, the answer to your question on where they come from is... eBay

ifthevamzarockin

Sorry....just hit me on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

I hated the white prongs at first, but I got used to them.

But, and a Big Butt, is that the white prong company sometimes puts the prong over an error or over a date which is not good.

I think it would be great to do a "cent on dime" or "cent on dime planchet" date/mm run.

They are much more intrusive in photos. In hand, I almost never think about them as I'm too busy tilting the coin to get the best look.

Nice errors and great pics!
Happy Holidays to you also Chris.

To each his own. I own NGC coins and find the prongs unpleasant viewing in-hand.

That’s music to our host’s ears. Will you be crossing your coins?

Funny Guy.

I use both services.

Best of the Best go to PCGS.

Cost-effectiveness requires I use ATS for lesser but still awesome major error coins.

Love those buffaloes. Planning on selling one?

Yes, they are for sale.

I am not here to post links tho.

I just like sharing photos of cool error coins.

Zoins

Regarding the white prongs, the interesting thing is that I bet people that don't like the white prongs would prefer ANACS slabs which are prongless for the most part, however, ATS is still preferred to ANACS in many cases.

Cool errors I like

ricko

Amazing .... Great error coins.... That '42 Jefferson on copper is fantastic. Cheers, RickO

And we like seeing them. Thank you.

jesbroken

Most certainly I love seeing them also. It is something I am not familiar with and is great to learn how the mint made the errors.

It has been attempted. I forget their names but a father and son built such a set and sold it in the early 2010s. It was missing only 6 or 7 coins back to 1940, and the collection also included 1943 copper cents and 1944 steel cents from all three mints. I am almost positive I ordered an auction catalog at the time, if I can dig it up I'll share the cover.

Awesome. I wonder if my coin, and how many of those on eBay are from this collection!

I think I have handled a huge part of that collection. At one point I had 20 different dates. Not sure now as I have not counted them in a while.

That would be great! Imagine so many coins with the provenance of 3 people

I know you don't care about the owner history of your coins, but it's of interest to some.
