    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
  • Die chips and cracks. You can usually find TONS of them in a big pile of wheaties. These though have cutsie names like "Cracked Skull" and "Filled 5".

    Looks like they let those dies go a just a little too long. Cool breaks.

    Not "errors" but die state indicators.

  • When I was a kid, i would find coins like that and go absolutely goo goo!

    I probably still have them too, somewhere around here. Then puberty hit and whamo...coin thrill gone.

    No matter how nice an item I acquire, I still never get a thrill like I did when I found an error as a kid in the 1960's.
