Craziest, most absurd, Carson City error coins I’ve ever seen in my life!

Yesterday I was at NNC to buy a St. Gaudens Double Eagle and while looking around the shop I saw a display cabinet with some of the most insane error coins I’ve ever seen in person.
It’s not so much the errors themselves that make it so crazy but also the fact that all of them are Carson City error coins and those coins are crazy expensive even without any errors.

I really like the 1891 off center in the bottom right corner!
that would be a fun collection to possess and share!
how many people do we come across that can say this sentence, "ya, i collect branch mint CC error type coins. oh, and btw, they are all straight-graded!"
somewhere on my journey today i ran across a couple handful of some morgan and probably some cc o/c and various errors. was gonna post the link but don't recall where i saw em.
From the Northern Nevada Coin website (they have a page dedicated to the above errors):

not sure if you were commenting to me or the op but either way, that is the page i was viewing previously. thanks
tons of great errors. the 84-cc struck-through grease i was trying to asses (for myself) if that was pmd or not. probably ok but looks sus.
Didn’t know that xD. It must be hidden somewhere I didn’t see!

I’m guessing the reason none of those coins are for sale is because it makes a great talking piece and attraction for the store xD.
Those are the only coins I saw that weren’t for sale.
Although this CC type set was!
I like the 1873-CC lam. planchet.
Now that is truly unique. I have done a straight date set of CC Morgans... but an error set, that has got to be a tough endeavor. Of course, one would never be complete - always may be one more out there.

Considering they are not for sale it makes me wonder if it’s the shop’s personal collection. xD
Like maybe they buy interesting CC errors and keep them even knowing they could make a profit re-selling them.
Some of those coins would be extremely expensive even without the errors.
When I see that broken CC dollar, I wonder if it's possible to super-freeze a Morgan dollar (liquid nitrogen for example) and then break it in half. I assume super freezing silver would make it brittle. I've seen videos of a rubber ball that after dipping it in liquid nitrogen would shatter like glass when hit with a hammer.

@PerryHall ... Interesting thought... I do not think (and this is pure hypothesis) that it would leave such a clean break.... I recall doing experiments in High School physics class with some metals and liquid nitrogen... the break was jagged. Did not do coins or even silver, so there could be differences. The above images of the break are not super clean... so, maybe. Cheers, RickO
There are some incredible Carson City error coins that have not been made public but should be soon-Including a few denominations that stun the hobby
`oooh, good tease!
