Thanks guys the coin in question is this 1985. The mintmark almost looks tripled. But the date error is suppose to be light. Couldn't find the value of one this clean
Whatever the market will bear. If it is interesting, major and has at least two wealthy collectors interested in it it may go very high. If it is obscure, minor and has no following it may not bring much at all.
The more errors a coin has, typically the more it's worth. But that's a very general rule, and not always true. Error coin values are mostly just based on what's popular and in demand (which is also the same way non-error coins are priced.)

Ask Fred Weinberg, he posts here and is very knowledgeable. I think it depends on the error(s)
Yes, depends on the error. Post a picture if you can.
Yep, it depends. It can vary from no additional premium to a premium of many multiples.

It often does increase the value.

Error coins are an interesting and unique field... I never could understand the pricing....Cheers, RickO
