Here's an amazing coin from the PCGS article:
Don't Let Error Coins Intimidate You
Aside from the awesome coin, there's something strange with the article date which says it was published on "January 1, 0001".

It must have been an.......error.
It would be great to have a video to see what's going on with the press when something like that is being created.
Now that's different. I like
Undergraded by at least a point. MS65 IMO. It definitely looks Gem to me.
Cool error.
I wonder where the rest of that train wreck is. Nice error for sure! Peace Roy

How does one grade that?
Now that is certainly a 'one of a kind' error.... no way to duplicate it. It would be an amazing find in a bag of cents. Cheers, RickO

Luster: Flashy zinc, flashy copper.
Strike: Thoroughly struck.
Surfaces: Wish there were a TV of this one, but I imagine there are some marks from where it detached from the rest of the cluster, possibly also a hit or two in the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head, or the top of Lincoln's head...
Eye Appeal: Yes.

60 + 2d6 / 2 (round up).

60 + 2d6...... LOL!
I know it says no date, but does anyone have an educated guess at when this was made?
Cool
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
Post-1981.
I would guess 1998-2000, with most of my money on 1999. The high speed horizontal Schuler presses that were brought in around that time could create an error like that in less than half a second.

1999 for most of them, as Seanq mentions above.
A grade is definitely irrelevant on something like this. I wonder if it truly got out through normal means?
So cool!
Cool looking error!
Count the rings, silly.
Isn’t that how we’re determining it’s age?
In the middle of the night, when no one was looking.
It's looks like a pile of bologna sliced at the deli counter.
An amazing error cent!!
Looks sorta like a failed prototype of Slinky.
A few similar yet otherworldly...not sure what to even call em..."thingys":
1979-D Lincoln Cent Multi-Piece Bonded Die Cap:
This thing is just plain Nutz!! 1998-P Roosevelt Dime 32-Piece Bonded Die Cap:
1985-P Roosevelt Dime 17-Piece Bonded Die Cap:
15Xs the points in the Registry?
That's what happens on the "High" speed presses they just keep on feeding in until they clear out. Nice examples!
