New addition to the 1921 Mint Set

I am a sucker for nice errors - and I just picked this one up

I also have the Cent as an O/C as well as the Nickel.... Have never seen the Quarter or Half struck O/C

Thats really cool! What premium do error key dates bring?

Neat coin Mike!

Well, then, my 1895-O Dime in PCGS 64 ( Die Cap )
Isn't such a great investment then.

I collect certain dates, 1921 being one of them and I
like having a sub-set of off center coins. My 1917 Date
Set also has a PDS sub set of Off Center coins.

Both my 1889 and 1891 Date Sets have O/C coins as well.

I feel that they make a great addition to the Date Sets.

As far as value, I have paid premiums over the normally
struck examples, but not huge premiums.

I can appreciate some collectors wanting only pristine examples
(Which I also have in my sets ) and would rather not have non errors.

As Realone said, I guess I am not most collectors (too).

It usually hurts their value, if anything... most collectors looking for key dates want nice, problem-free examples, and errors are seen as problems. >>

Well, the next time you have an error coin in your possession and want to sell it for a value you think is fair, please let me know.

ASTOUNDING! THAT BARBER! The way the error influenced or guided the the toning patters in just incredible; the colors beautiful and exciting. From just looking I should think the movement of the metal, stretching and/or density variations have created the wondrous ray effect near the rims as the colors vary with the lettering right near? Not unlike the "shadow" or "ghosting" on a "normal" toned coin near the lettering?
That lime green, the touches of acidic yellow, that slate/steel gray, the electric blue and purple accents under the date...I just never saw toning that implies motion before! I also am not most collectors. Most exciting coin I have seen in a while, and best Barber I have seen in a long while.

Thanks for sharing it!
