My favorite (and only) error

Here's one I pull out on a regular basis, and tonight I thought I'd take some pics. It's my one and only error coin, and I think I'll keep it that way. image

You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.

    I don't collect errors either, but I have kept a couple that I have found in change. This is a 1975 Jefferson nickel and a 1972 Lincoln cent - both with doubling.

    Cool error..image
    I have two errors, one is an off center penny and the other is a rim clip Morgan. Both graded by ANACS....

    I have some strange modern Lincolns that appear to have been double struck. The obverse shows a faint ghosting of the reverse. At first I thought this was really unique....until I found another one a couple of weeks ago. Oh Well. image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Cool.

    have 2 that my uncle gave me after he found out that I was interested in coins again...and that most of my coins were going to my son as he gets older....
    2 lincolns....

    #1 is rim clipped...minor but cool.

    #2 is LIBIERTY ... that one took me a moment to see but it can be seen without a loupe....it's just that my eyes automatically "see" LIBERTY.

    Maybe they are really common, but I think they are cool image


    Now, I want a nice doubling (something like the 1955 DDO) and the frankie bugs bunny.

    I like errors that can be easily seen.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    What year/denom is the "Libierty" error on?

    Here is a cool error attached below. It's too big to fit in a TPGS holder.image
