I have never understood the fascination with error coins.

They ran out of steel when stamping the part out but let it go tru the assembly process and it ends up on a finished car.
It is rare,,,,, it is one of a Kind,,,,,, would I buy it,,,,,,,,,,,, let alone pay several times the normal cost for it because of the "error"
Well the answer to that is a resounding NO!!!!!!!!
But,,,,,,,,, to each his own,,,,,,,,,, if you want to spend your money on an error coin then GO FOR IT.
Apples and oranges. You buy a car because you want it to take you places. If it’s not perfect it is less useful if not useless. Coin manufacturing, especially if late, is state of the art and they do everything possible to make everything that gets released perfect. Major errors getting made is rare, but getting past quality control os even rarer. Combine that with each one being unique and possibly quite intriguing to look at, and you get something rare and appealing. Even for non errors, people collect higher and rarer dates and grades because there are fewer coins like them. I get that errors aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (I think they are neat but am not interested in owning most) but I certainly understand why they’re collectible.
Please keep posting your coins. Many of us enjoy seeing them. There are many threads here that don’t interest me so I don’t waste time reading them. And I certainly don’t waste time commenting or criticizing them. Maybe others should take note.

I ended buying the same coin from someone else a few years later. It's still one of my favorite extremely rare coins.
I had a 2009-S Zachary Taylor dollar with this same type of error. The struck-in scrap was about the same size and ran from 12:00 to 6:00. I sold it raw to Fred back in 2012 and regrettably I have no photos of it. Fred doesn't either (i asked). Does anybody know what became of this coin? I have always regretted selling it and did not know of another one until I saw this one.

Al Levy (Al’s Coins) was a CPA and an error coin dealer. He set up at the Long Beach coin shows. He was one of the original contributors and consultants for MINT ERROR NEWS, 20 years ago. His extensive articles in MINT ERROR NEWS tracked many types of error coin sales and prices realized:
“Is it still true that there are only two known on wrong planchets?”
That article for the cover story of Mint Error News was written twelve years ago in 2010. Since then I have handled a Washington Presidential Dollar struck on a Cent blank. And possibly there are one or two more Presidential Dollar off metals known somewhere.

This is actually fine by me as I have no desire to buy error coins that do not look like error coins.
I need big bold eye appeal.
While others are chasing the most expensive of error coins that IMO have lesser eye appeal, I am extremely happy her I am at
Holy cow, I did not know that coin existed. That's why I love the error coin market. Weekly I see major error coins that I never knew existed. Such an exciting field of numismatics.

It seems like there are different definitions of eye appeal at play.
It's great that you have your definition of eye appeal, but I wouldn't discount the eye appeal of the coins you discount.
For example, Bob Simpson has paid over $1m for individual error coins and he says he specifically chases eye appeal. I'd also venture many collectors would say that the gold Indian Head Cents and Buffalo Nickel have tons of eye appeal!

Zions, the errors are super cool for sure.
Of course the Gold IHC has amazing eye appeal.
I guess the main reason that I discount these exceptional error coins is that fact they those types of coins are way, way out of my price range. I will leave those for Mike along with the risk / reward that come along with them.
I only research and buy in a certain price range that I feel comfortable in. I do not want too much risk built into one coin.
I have been moving up the price scale so maybe one day
This thread is leading me to wonder if I should open and inspect the dozens of Mint sealed rolls of these dollars I'm storing somewhere? They will most likely never be anything more than face value.
EOC - please keep posting your interesting finds.
I've always been curious though - why don't the original owners of all these high mint-state, off-metal errors give them a more "circulated" look - so as to not seem so intentionally made? (Mint mischief?)
Here is a very cool presidential error coin that I bought raw in a sealed mint set. I tried to convince Fred to label this coin as "struck thru wood" many times. He did not agree and labeled the coin "struck thru object". I am convinced that it is struck thru a hard wood by the woodgrain pattern. Still very happy with this coin which I liberated from Europe which is a weird place to find a US error coin.

Yes, it was sealed in the mint plastic pouch but I did cut it out to photograph and submit the coin to PCGS. You can not get a good photograph thru the mint sealed plastic.

I think Fred is great, and I never said otherwise, but an opinion is one opinion. For grades, PCGS and CAC both use more than one grader with valid opinions.
Are you saying no other opinion is valid?
For an example of changing policy coinciding with staff, remember when PCGS wouldn't slab Dan Carr's 1964 Peace Dollars even though they were listed in Krause and PCGS said they would slab everything in Krause? Then a management change happened and now they are slabbing these Krause-listed pieces.

I was just looking through issue 32, only 2 issues earlier, and there were articles by Al along with his ad.
Great article Mike!
First double strucks, and now wrong planchet errors! These Presidential Dollars are a real treat.
Is it still true that there are only two known on wrong planchets?

Not really as it is slabbed. It does look thicker than tape as you can see the struck thru is kinda deep.

I personally have learned two things about coins I love from this one thread
*Turns out this does not qualify. I just got it back in hand and it straight graded with no error.
This is not nearly as dramatic as your struck through/retained, but I believe it too qualifies.
Retained part emphasized:
This thread is leading me to wonder if I should open and inspect the dozens of Mint sealed rolls of these dollars I'm storing somewhere? They will most likely never be anything more than face value.
