I love ultra-modern major error coins because they are so much rarer than coins produced before 2002.
This one will go to PCGS for certification. I have brokered 3 Major Sheild Cent Error Coins and I only know of one other Major Sheild Cent Error. An extremely rare series for major error coins.
Enjoy, Chris

Really cool!
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Nice example, EOC.
Very nice !!!
Yep.... I would call that one a 'major' error....You do find the big ones....Cheers, RickO
I hope all the errors fit on the PCGS label ...
Triple or Multi Struck, last strike Off Center
Huge Broadstruck
Large Struck Thru
Perhaps more, anything other errors?
What would you call the circular line on the bottom of the first image and the top of the second image?
What a wonderful mess of an error! Was that in a bank bag? Peace Roy

Nice piece. Hang onto that one
@goldenegg paperchasesue is still around?! I was buying errors from them on eBay back in 2000. I figured they must have had good access to bank bags given what they were selling.
I love these types of posts from you @ErrorsOnCoins Very,very cool!
Thank you.
She is absolutely still around, I would wager at least two-thirds of the zinc cent clips in my set came from her. I have no idea how she does it, but for 15 years she has been the single best source anywhere for zinc clips, up to and including the shield reverse coins.
I would describe it as a collar scar, though that is based on the old vertical striking machinery, I could be way off on how those marks came to be on a horizontally struck coin.

"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor
It appears to be triple struck, with the first strike off-center and uniface on the reverse (upper) side, the second strike centered and die-struck both sides, and the third strike off-center and uniface on the obverse (lower) side. Of course, there's a major struck-through error on the reverse, most likely from a floating encrustation.
Actually, it's quadruple-struck, with two relatively well-centered strikes interposed between the two off-center strikes. Complex, whichever way you look at it.
My opinion keeps changing as I look at it. Right now it appears the first strike was centered, the second strike off-center and uniface, the third strike centered, and the fourth strike off-center and uniface. I also see evidence of additional strike lines. Very cool error.
Thank you, Mike.
Yes, there is a lot going on. The date 2016 itself shows a double strike so at least 4 strikes
Will Fred be able to fit it all on the label?
