Heritage had another auction last night focusing on error coins. I was surprised to see a few items in the special PCGS Fred Weinberg Collection holders cycling back to auction already.
I was mainly bottom feeding and won a few cheap but interesting coins, but I stretched a little for this one.
It will make a nice companion for the clipped 1912-S Barber Half I picked up last year. Now all I have to do is find the matching clipped quarter.
If anyone else participated last night, feel free to post your wins below.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

long day yesterday.
I ended up winning 21 very cool major error coins.
Bought back a few that I previously owned. One with 9 zeros

I picked up 2 Weinbergs and 1 regular.
"cheap" or not, a double clipped barber dime is a nice error!
@ErrorsOnCoins I would love to know what you thought of this saddle struck Jefferson, it was listed as mint state but the strikes looked suspiciously prooflike to me.

Sean, I was outbid on that coin. I did not notice that possible this is a proof or at least proof like. Too busy researching over 100 coins on that auction.
Now that I look at the photos, hmm could be?
I did buy the coin with 3 clad layers
Just for clarification, those were not auctioned from six months ago – those were late-graded pieces that I gave Heritage in the spring time -they made it to this auction – they were all up there for the first time
Fred - thanks for clarifying, glad to know those coins were not flipped. I won the 1976 cent with an incomplete clip in the special holder, and it is not going anywhere for a while.
Speaking of incomplete clips, here is another coin I won last night. this is in a new ANACS holder graded EF45:

Some really interesting error coins. Always surprises me when a thread like this runs... Cheers, RickO
