Picked up 2 errors at the B&M today.

He picked up the cent from behind the counter and flung it at me (it was in a 2X2) and asked me "what do you think this is? He found it in a bunch of bulk wheaties he bought. The quarter was sitting in his showcase of NEWPS from FUN and I snagged it also just because it's BU and neat and has possibly 2 clips to it. The obvious one and a tiny one at 10-11:00 on the obv, better seen on the reverse at 7-8:00.

What would you value these in a retail setting?

    The cent looks a little like a reverse counterbrockage. It's tough to tell from the image. Not sure about it's value if a counterbrockage.

    Yes, with late stage brockage.

    Yep, a brockage, not a counterbrockage. Rotate the coin and you can see the the bit of UNUM visible is reversed.

    I'll take your word for it! image I can't see the UNUM ... reversed or not.

    Me too. Look for the clad layer inversion on the edge. That will be definitive.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    My thoughts on the Cent is it's a brockage. I see a couple reversed letters of UNUM at 6:00 in the top pic. The pics are taken with coin alignment. There is some ghosting of Lincoln's portrait which leads me to believe that this is a late stage capped die.
