    Really? LOL

    I have bought thousands upon thousands of major mint error coins.

    I have found maybe three major mint error coins, and all where round and the correct size of normal coinage.

    Like I said , you don't find these, you buy them ........

    Try this a few times and you will realize you time, effort, and money is much better spent on "found" major mint errors image

    Wow, that looks like it must have been painful.

    Very nice coin. Love them errors!

    Errors-On-Coins - I had to laugh - yes, you're correct.

    It's easier to buy 'em than to find 'em....Why???

    Simple - you can go thru 1,000 mint-sewn bags of any
    denomination, and not find a single error coin - but in
    the 1,001st bag, you might find a run of off centers, or
    double strikes, or whatever.

    That's why mint error coins have large premiums over face
    value - if they were easily found in every single mint sewn
    bag, they'd be so common that there would't be much need
    for a premium......


    It's random, and they are found by those whose job it is to
    roll them into paper or plastic rolls - but you have to go thru
    a very very very large quantity of fresh, just-out-of-the-Mint
    coinage to find those few neat errors......

    And that's been much tougher in the past 12 years or so.....

    How about that guy that went through a mint-sewn bag of cents and found one with a major cud on it AND the piece of die steel that came off the die to create the cud? I wrote it up ATS.

  • Very nice, and I really like the look of it!

    It looks to me like it is a 1976 5c double-struck on a 60% curved clipped planchet, and with the 2nd strike uniface obverse. The flap of thin metal on the reverse is from finning (occurred due to the excess pressure caused by the uniface 2nd strike) which separated partially from the rim, but is just barely hanging on.
