goodmoney, wow what an awesome set, very nice coins. The OC lincoln on dime sure is sweet, I have had one of those on my list for sometime.

here is one of my clad nickels

goodmoney4badmoney · October 23, 2011 5:21AM

Thanks Errorsoncoins. Well, I actually sold the O/C 1c on a 10c so I could acquire a dated example.. and instead of being off center it's on a dime planchet that has a 40% straight clip. I also sold a couple of others that I pictured. I have a few other odd-ball off metals but don't have pictures... I prefer my off metals to come with additional errors (such as brockage, clip, double struck, off center) or be proofs.

"so I could acquire a dated example.. and instead of being off center it's on a dime planchet that has a 40% straight clip"

Sounds sweet ... Please tell me it is not dated 2000.

I like multiple errors as well. My off metal and DD errors are from two specific dates (or no date) that I collect, part of really cool dated error type sets.

Here is a off metal multi error Jefferson on Clad Scrap

Errorsoncoins...The cent on the straight clipped dime plan is dated 1965, so you don't have to freak out that you're missing a 2000 dated coin

I like that quarter struck on the cent planchet.

Some of my favs are DD's

The only thing I can contribute are these 2 coins, don't know much about them other than they are old, cool, slab like bad boys-

PerryHall · October 23, 2011 7:17AM

A lot of neat and interesting coins shown here. Thanks for sharing. The problem with error coins is that most of them are one-of-a-kind and it's very difficult to price them. How do the dealers price these coins? They can't just look them up on the Grey Sheets.

ctf_error_coins · October 23, 2011 8:32AM

here is a silver nickel error and it's not from the war years

TexasNationals · October 23, 2011 8:35AM

I love that coin EOC- the only thing that cold make it cooler were if it were a 1965 or later (non silver years)

ctf_error_coins · October 23, 2011 9:35AM

TN, ya a clad 64 would be really cool and extremely rare.

I have another silver Jefferson coming in that is my birth year so this one is up for grabs

Here is another cool coin, it is not off metal but it is on the Wrong Planchet and I group it with my off metals .... a frankie struck on a quarter planchet with a strike thru making it a double error ...

ctf_error_coins · October 24, 2011 10:04AM

This one is not off metal at all, but ..... I kinda like it and it does have copper molecules on it's surface

8 out of the 17 posts were from the OP, that is one way to keep a thread going. But I will ptich in too +1
And here is an off color coin

ctf_error_coins · October 24, 2011 11:44PM

Crypyo79, I am in a really good mood today because I am going Kayak Fishing in the open Pacific Ocean.

The coin you keep posting is my coin.

This is a coin forum and I will post whatever coin I want and whenever I want to.

You can make all the snide comments you like today, (just don't lie), I could care less as I will be enjoying myself in the Pacific.

You need a second hobby, I think.

EOC, The off metal error above imho would make for an excellent fishing lure... Just punch a small hole in the excess flan and insert a swivel and hook!

Edited to add: Please put me in your will before going Kayak Fishing in the open Pacific Ocean.

There's so many different varieties of mint errors that you really can't collect them all.

I'm fond of SAC errors and only picked up the example on a foreign planchet as I've always wanted a transitional.

However the SAC's struck on a clad SBA planchets have doubled in price in the last 5-6 years and I'm not looking to spend above $15K to own one now.

I think I still have tucked away somewhere a 1980-P nickel on a cent planchet. This is by far the most common off-metal as an entire tote of cent planchets were mistakenly sent through a nickel press and released into the wild. For a while in the late 1990s you could get an example of this error for around $50, I have no idea what one might be worth now.

On average they now sell in the mid $300-400.00 levels.

That would have worked, it would have caught fish yesterday, unfortunately those where mackerel which is bait fish. We caught mackerel on everything, wide open bite, I even caught a few on a bare hook. There was so much bait in the water everywhere that a pod of about 100 dolphins came in and had a feast. It was really cool watching the dolphins get completely air born over and over again and sometimes just a few feet away.

Spent 8 hours on the open pacific yesterday and what a blast.

Had something really big on the line but lost it as it wrapped itself in kelp.

Caught my first Halibut but it was only 6 inches so back in the sea it went. Ended the day with a nice sized ocean whitefish which became dinner a couple hours later. You can't get any fresher than that.

BS, I should put you on my contact list for my wife just in case ......

But it will not be kayaking which is actually extending my life

Post some off metal errors ....
