    Nothing dramatic, just a centered BS nickel.
    I look for centering, and super-stretch lettering, JMO.

    Here's another one I have, I've posted it before but I'll post it again because it's my favorite nickel error.
    It's a great off center brockage but the really nice part is that it's on a clad 10C planchet......

    I am not an error collector and don't own any but I will post a photo of the one error Jefferson that I bid on and lost. It was such a cool looking coin, I couldn't help myself. IIRC, I bid in the $3K range and got crushed.

    1tommy, the double-clip you posted is nice and genuine but not worth slabbing, it's probably an $8-12 error.

    3 errors in one, broadstruck, indented and off center.
    Bought this one from EOC. Nice errors all, liking the nickel struck on the cent, really cool.

    Some wild errors in this thread. Seems like Jefferson has more than his fair share of mishaps.

    Has anyone else noticed the priced ragged clips like this are realizing on eBay right now? I watched two of them close in the last couple of weeks for very strong money, both Lincoln cents:

    Undated ragged clip hammers for $66

    1965 ragged clip hammers for $87.56

    If someone had posted either of those here for an opinion, I would have guessed in the $25-30 range. I don't know how attached you are to your coin, aegis, but now would seem to be a great time to sell.

    Could just be the reflection from the plastic, but are you sure that is not an SMS strike?

    I don't know a thing about the coin but it definitely has the look of a San Francisco safety deposit box hoard coin, and most of those coins were SMS or proof errors.

    These are scans from my scanner so it could just be an illusion from the reflections. I admit I don't know if it originated from the "SF hoard" or not and I never thought about it being an SMS. Next time I'm down at the bank I'll have to take a closer look at it and thanks for giving something to look into.

    Interesting in that I don't see one bag mark on the planchet.

    "Interesting in that I don't see one bag mark on the planchet. "

    Yep, that's part of the overall SMS look I saw.

    The more I look at it, the more I like Sean's Bank Vault Hoard suggestion. The positioning of the brockaged date is just too cute.

    I think you guys may be right. I never noticed the lack of marks on the planchet and it does make sense.

    I saw those too and thought the same thing. There seems to be some strong bidding for mid to high range errors lately. Some of the lower end stuff seems to be hit or miss.

    Sean and Tom -

    That coin was not in the SF Safe Deposit
    Box hoard that I purchased (containing
    the Two Tailed Quarter, among some
    other spectacular errrors.)

    I've seen that 1965 Jeff. in-hand, and I
    don't believe it's a SMS coin - I think the
    photo just shows unusual 'lighting' effects.

    Just my view......
