getting errors in circulation

has anybody gotten noticeable error coins in circulation? a coin when you got it you go how did this get/stay in circulation.

As an error collector I pay pretty close attention to my change. Once I got a small broadstruck 1996-D Washington quarter that was extremely scratched up and literally looked like it had been laying in the street getting run over by cars for a while. That's the only coin I have ever found "in the wild".

there have been roll searchers who have found planchets in rolls.

the best I've found errorwise have been partial edge lettered dollars and a slightly misaligned obverse die half dollar.

I have found quite a few off centered Lincoln's going through bu memorial bags.

Never found anything in circulation but that doesn't stop me from always looking at my change.

found a die chip dime in my change in time, and you never know what your change will yield

I found this clipped half dollar while roll searching.

I do a fair amount of roll searching and my only error finds have come from cent rolls. All of them minor. A couple blank planchets, a couple clips including a double-clip, and one slightly off-center.

Here is one pic I have uploaded.

I got this one out of the Cafeteria Cash Drawer as change:

I also got a 1970-D Washington with a minor clip out of a roll I purchased off of eBay. Does that count?

Not really errors but I've found a few 1998 and 2000 wide AM Lincolns in change.

Thanks!

I remember the excitement revolving around the release of the State Quarters and even purchased the $25.00 bags.

When the Connecticut coin was released, I asked the cashier to let me look in her drawer. (I was always looking in that cash drawer much to the shock of all the subsequent cashiers that worked there!)

At any rate, she pulled this one out which happened to be the 1st Connecticut Quarter I'd ever encountered in the "wild"!

I also got this one out of the same drawer:

I have only found minor varieties in all the years I've looked. I do not even pick up roll anymore. Anyone else give up?

SaorAlba · October 8, 2012 6:26AM

As a CRH I find them on a regular basis, mostly clips - usually minor. I have also found cuds, planchets etc, even some Canadians. Most recent find is a 1966 nickel with a minor clip from a roll search and then the other thread where I found the dime planchet at a Subway restaurant.

Back when I used to search rolls religiously, I found a couple of minor clips and unstruck planchets, but nothing really exciting. My best find was a cent struck about 98% off center, the struck part of the coin had sliced through the paper roll like a tiny knife.

I was at LAX for one of my trips to
Switzerland, in 1978 or so, and I
got a 1974-D Dime in change at
the coffee shop there. It was a
clipped planchet.

I put it in a labeled 2x2 holder, and
still have it somewhere with my
'fun' coins......

Think that's about it for finds, other
than die cracks, etc. when I was
a kid searching thru circ and BU rolls.

After searching for a rotated die for years I found this one in a box of 500 dollars, been told its not worth getting slabbed but after looking for yrs to finally find one felt good. And I always think that its funny no one noticed it before me. Also just found last week a lincoln penny 1993 that the In God We Trust is right on the upper rim which is small compared to the bottom being thicker, think its a off centered error, the back of the coin is right. Enjoy
