I finally got around to photographing the 50 or so certified error coins sitting on my desk.
I will post some of the cooler new coins I just got in.
You all post some exceptional error coins in this thread if you have them.
Enjoy the fantastic day that today is, Chris

Nice collection.
What error are they calling the first and last one?
Split before strike.
Struck on split planchet before strike.
The planchet split and then it was struck by the mint dies.
Great images Chris!
Thanks Mike.
I told you it would be more than a month before I got my work done as this is one busy summer, fishing, working on bonsai trees, and fixing up our new house that finalized yesterday. It's done the house is now ours legally.
Error coins and pics…..JUST WOW!
Wow!

Very Cool, wanna sell that? I'm doing an error coin submission soon and would love to include that one.
You'll have to fight my wife for this one, she told me to keep it.
Awesome, very cool.
My wife follows my Instagram posts and loves my coins altho she is not a collector. I show her all the cool coins I buy and the price I paid for them. I often ask her advice on wether or not to buy a certain coin. 95% of the time she's says to buy it.
I guaranty she knows way more specifically about mint error coins that most professional coin dealers
Mine greatly dislikes 99.9% of all errors I have ever shown her, and she has seen a lot. She calls them "dead little pieces of metal"
. She has seen plenty of other partial and full missing clad layer pieces too, the date is why is she says to keep it. When the year is over I'll ask again haha.
The date is why I wanted it so bad.
One of my specialties is ultra modern major mint error coins.
Nice coin.
Thank you. I'm aware you like ultra moderns AND this particular error type, so this conversation does not surprise me
.
I actually like most all major error type coins.
For extremely late dated coins, you take what you get.
I only have one and I am simply in love with it. Not sure how common it is, but if I come across another, I just might have to buy it. I do enjoy your amazing error coins you post!
Here is another of mine. It's a common type error, but it's uncommon to find in a GSA Hard Pack. The kicker is the GSA hard pack is the "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" label and was not relegated to the "Silver Dollar" holder that really baggy and toned coins were inserted into.
This is the image of the GSA holder prior to grading at NGC.
Nice to see some great error coins. So helpful for newbies to see what real errors look like as will as just being great to see. I only have a few minor errors. I don’t have a passion for collecting them but I enjoy all the genuine ones.
Cool errors. But the more informative ones were the ones that named the error.
I prefer classic coin errors. I had a nice date set of off center and double strike Indian cents that was auctioned off by Bowers & Merena in June of 2001. I did quite well.
Error coins with no date or ones that look like mangled pieces of metal do nothing for me. To each their own.
Uncentered broadstrike.

There are errors and then there is garbage. Whatever makes you happy.
Some nice stuff there. Thanks!
I love this one:
So prominently displays that date. "1969" Woodstock, moon landing, Vietnam, etc.
Should be easy to sell to someone with that birthyear or any similarly important moment in 1969.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
1969 is an extremely popular date for error coin collectors for some reason
Do you have a non coin insta with the fishing?
No, I do not.
I do have a network of friends via texts of what exactly is going on day to day in Southern California / Mexico off shore fishing.
Right now ... Limits of Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) on patties South Nine. Yellowtail on Squid bed greylight off Crystal pier.
Caught this Dodo a week and a half ago ...
@ctf_error_coins - nice. Seriously though, the 1969-D error is a favorite of mine. I've searched for a nice '69-D No FG for a while, briefly your coin looked like one.
@DCW - yours? I like error 1969 coins. Birth year.
