Is this error significant enough to be "cool"?

Error

Well Fred Weinberg is bidding on it and he is one of the top market makers in error coins. That comment is about the only thing I know about error coins.

Error or no, thats a purty Buff

Very small. I don't know much about error coin values, but this looks insignificant. I like errors you can "see". What are they called? "Mules?"- The obverse of one denomination and the reverse of another denomination. Or a coin struck on the wrong planchet. Those are awesome.

Buff errors command a high premium. It is at $76.00 right now and will probably get to $100.00 before it ends.

My uneducated unrequested opinion....Nice buffalo and good example of a clip.

Nice coin! I took a stab at it!

supercoin

I wouldn't think so, to me the clip is small enough that it has the appearance of damage. But, $77 of smart money says otherwise.

BigD5

Mr. Paseo, your opinion was requested, educated or not I'm thinking more along Supercoin's line, as the error seems sooo minor, it almost seems like damage. You, or I at least, don't seem to see Buffalo errors all that often though. Hmm...........

MICHAELDIXON

Sorry, I forgot to answer the question. For me, even minor errors on Buffalo nickels sell quickly. The last one I had like this, which was circulated, went for over $200.

Geesh Michael, don't tell me that.......I'll eradicate the thread! I'm going to bid, but nothing heavy. I have moderate interest in that piece.

The vast majority of errors generally carry little premium value except for a few collectors who fancy them.

Since the error looks more like damage to an otherwise beautiful Buff, I wouldn't personally pay full value for it, and would wait for a nicer example if I were looking for that date and grade.

For me Dramatic errors are fun like Huge die cracks, 20% or more off center strikes and other features that give the coin a unique look, but don't look like someone took a hammer to it!
