    My favorite error coin is not mine. So maybe this doesn't count. But I was grateful to shoot the famous Henry Hilgard bust half errors collection and this was among my favorites.

    It is double struck and 90 degree rotated. Simply spectacular.

    @jwitten ....Wow... that is an amazing array of gold errors. For some reason, I always think gold coin errors are rare... evidently not that rare. Cheers, RickO

    Major Errors on Gold rank up there with the same as on Proofs.

    I think I have about 1/3rd of them for sale on ebay right now though. And some of these I've already sold, I just still have the pictures.

    Major gold errors are scarcer and much more desirable than proof errors IMHO.

    Error coins have always been cool to me, but I have not really gotten into collecting them. @jwitten those are some amazing errors!
