A while ago, Type2 had a generous giveaway in which I won a handful of error coins. Pretty cool assortment of stuff. Thanks, Type2!

A few small clips:

    nice coins! I like the blakesly effect on the buffalo nickel and wheat cent

    the 1965 dime looks acid-eaten, and the CT quarter looks machine sanded. the dollar might be PMD also.

    Actually, there's more to the 1979 off center cent that just being off center. There's no reverse design and the struck part is tilted relative to the unstruck part of the planchet. It would seem that this was actually struck off center through another planchet.

    << <i>the 1965 dime looks acid-eaten, and the CT quarter looks machine sanded. the dollar might be PMD also. >>


    - I was wondering about the dime, since the design is a little mushy, but the reeding is sharp.
    - The rims are full on the quarter, and sanding would take down the high points rather than the low points.
    - There is a weak Blakesly effect on the dollar you can see in the first S in STATES.

    I agree the 65 Dime is not an error, I'll bet good money the rest are though! Very cool pieces.

    Very generous Type2! A nice batch of coins there. Besides the 1965 dime, which is not a mint error, they are all very nice, the 1964 nickel especially. It reminds me of the silver quarter that ErrorsOnCoins posted earlier this year. It has a nice struck through and retained wire and a partial collar. Interesting group of errors! Enjoy 'em.

    Very cool stuff for a giveaway!

    I like the major clips and the CT quarter. The tree on the reverse of that one looks like it is emerging from the fog.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
