A few/couple more errors.....these are on the "good" and interesting side. To balance a couple that were odd. Large collection, queuing up for submission. 5% was very good, 15 % was good, the rest are mixed...some no value, some are low value.

neat group you got there.
there is more commentary to be added to the kennedy
the 1812 isn't ringing true to me as double struck. something odd going on there. it almost looks like an obv MAD double strike with a normal oriented rev.
love the morgan!
neat 6c piece
ok. i thought about the bust dollar. as a visual error it doesn't do much for me but as a rarity, i like it a lot. as nutzo as they were about getting silver dollars to the exact micron of weight, painstakingly apparently weighing every single one manually, then ruining their wonderful work by filing many of the darn things and plugging some others, letting something like that slip through is a conundrum.
Real errors!
Neat errors!
Despite the lack of a date on the quarter, we can confirm that it was struck in 1973-1974, due to the reverse design variety that was used.
This was discussed on another thread that also features a no-date error quarter:

In short, the lower wing margins have re-engraved details that look like they were added by hand. This is particularly obvious on the left wing (eagle's right) because the re-engraved details aren't perfectly aligned with the original margin (they are offset to the north). This particular reverse design with the re-engraved details was used only on 1973 and 1974 quarters.
It looks plenty good to me. Check out the E in CENT on the reverse. It's hard to see the details on a close double strike. This is a nice one.
Nice coins @keoj!
They are all nice but I especially like the '21 Morgan.
A nice group of error coins, and good pictures too. I like the nickel/cent and quarter/cent errors. Cheers, RickO
Looks like the 1921 Morgan is a Denver mint example, which to me makes it way more special. The production of the 1921 Morgan Dollars was pretty sloppy, but nearly all of the errors I have seen on the issue are from Philadelphia.

Yep. Don't see many off center Morgans.
