I used my Collector's Club freebie for a Mint Error submission.

LINE # CERT # COIN DATE DENOMINATION VARIETY COUNTRY GRADE
1 21760963 1980 1C USA MS63RD
2 21760964 1980 1C USA MS63RB
3 21760965 1984 1C USA MS64RD
4 21760966 1970-D 25C USA MS66

The first two are the Doubled Die Obverse, FS-034. I was a bit worried the RB coin would come back AU.
Line 3 is the "other" Doubled Die Obverse for the date, FS-038. They were brutal on this one, I thought it was a lock 65 with a shot at going higher. The coin was photographed for coppercoins' site before I submitted it, you can see his photos on the site.
Line 4 is the right-most coin in this image, about 60% off-center, and is flat-out beautiful. Most coins this far off-center get banged up somewhere along the line, so this one may be the best score of the batch.
Mint Error service is supposed to be 30 business days, this one was on Day 40. I imagine at $40 a pop, their backlog will decrease significantly next year.

I like your coins. I, too, love errors and you have some dandies. I have two posts on coppercoin.com. My screen name on that site is Imahik (I’m a hick). I chose CoinOnTheCob for this site because all of my coins seem to be garden-variety old coins.

Congratulations on your new graded coins.
