Not sure if it counts as an error but there is a nice clash on the neck of the Indian. They look like agrivated veins poping out of his neck.



Here is a normal one.

Picked up this little jewel at the TNA show in Fort Worth a couple of weeks ago.

PCGS MS65 5% Off Center - looks more than 5% but it doesn't matter - I still love it.



thanks Mark for the pic

Hope I'm not going overboard here...

Bowtie indent



On center double strike, double indent second strike



Double partial brockage



Indent and partial brockage



Yeah, I like indents and brockages.

I'm actuallyhaving a hard time finding pics I haven't posted to other threads before. Here are a couple of new arrivals, I traded a clipped 2001-P Sacagawea dollar and a clipped 1894-O Morgan for these two and a really nice 1913-S cent clip I forgot to image before putting it in the Gardmaster. First is a 1923-S Monroe with a ragged rim clip, second is an 1881 Morgan with one of the larger clips I've seen on a pre-1921 dollar.

It can't be in-collar if it's double-struck with the second strike off-center.

It can't be in-collar if it's double-struck with the second strike off-center.

That is just my pictures file name not my description of the error Mike, I just named it that because even with the second off centered strike it still would fit into the collar.

Dante - those double-struck, double-dated coins are sweet - especially that flip-over 2001.

What this thread needs now is a quad-clipped wheat cent:

This coin was removed from circulation years ago because it "looked funny." How do the TPG's determine an error coin's composition-looks, weight, bite the edge?

The first two, and if those don't narrow it down there are other non-ionvasive tests like specific gravity that can also help identify the metallic composition.

The coin in that Teletrade link is really neat, you don't see cents on dime planchets that early very often (it's a 1934, for those of you who didn't click). The earliest one I've ever seen offered at auction was dated 1869 and fetched clsoe to $15,000.

The color looks a little off, and the coin seems to have expanded to full diameter, something not seen all that often in cents struck on dime planchets. It could conceivably represent a foreign copper-nickel planchet. Without a posted weight and without an SG value, you're going on faith alone.

Very interesting error coins, one of the most fascinating threads I have ever looked at Way to get things up and going Slacker76

I just did! (See my attempts at imaging toned Lincolns!)

I found one of their brothers.

From a box simply labelled "misc"

-a 1934 circulated quarter which does not ring like a silver coin when dropped (could this be a third way to identify a fake or wrong metal error?)
-a well-circulated 1949s nickel with a crack across the entire coin (until I fooled with it!)
-an uncirculated Old Spanish Trail labeled "counterfeit"
-a circulated 1920 Lincoln cent carved to look like Charlie Chan
-a double struck 1972 Lincoln cent
-two headed coins and obvious barber and walker fakes
-a Denarius of Trajan (according to the label)

Very miscellaneous!
Broken nickel
