I figured "Your Favorite Coin" would be too tough to choose for most so I made it Five!
1: 2000 $1 Sacagawea Dollar Obverse Capped Die NGC MS66:
My Favorite piece, it's Unique and the Eye Appeal is just Extraordinary!!!
2: 1999-P $1 Susan B. Anthony Dollar Struck on Experimental Planchet 25% Zn, 2.5% Ni, 72% Cu 7.73 grams PCGS MS-66:
I'm happy I was able to find one with the Greenish tint to it!
3: 1976 $1 Eisenhower Dollar Struck 95% Off Center NGC MS66:
Only IKE I know this far Off-Center.
4: $5 Tenth-Ounce Gold Eagle Type One Blank SEGS 3.33 Grams:
5: ?? Coming Soon...??
RUNNER UP
6: 1999-D 10C Roosevelt Dime Missing Obverse Clad Layer (1.8g) PCGS MS64:
This is one of my Favorite Missing Clad Layer pieces as it's color is just Gorgeous!!
I'll be sending all of these Errors to PCGS for Crossovers and a Reholder as many have scuffs and scratches, except the Dime.

Today it is this MAD nickel that I found in pocket change years ago.
How did NGC determine the date of the ike?
I have just one major error. I stopped looking after I found it - it has to be all downhill from here. 😃
I actually have 5.
1999 New Jersey quarter brockage.
1921 Morgan $1 broadstrike
1921-D Morgan $1 broadstrike
1921-S Morgan $1 broadstrike

I have a lot of favorite "errors" that I have produced over the years. Most of them I do not have pictures of. Here is one I do have a picture of and it stands out because of the toning:
My primary focus the last few years has shifted from coin errors to paper money errors, so I'll show what is probably my top favorites for each:
Presumably there is a reverse design element visible on the other side of the struck L, which is obscured by the holder.

This piece is INCREDIBLE!!
I like 1983 Errors
Spitting Eagle
If I had to pick a fav it would be the off center cent on dime.
Laureate Lincoln
really impressive errors here! Mine are a bit understated...
A couple of clipped planchet Large Cents
5% Off Center Strike
Double Profile (1834, N-1)

Nice group of old copper errors. I believe the 1811 Large Cent is a misaligned die.
Both very cool, The 6x Struck Feeder Finger Dime is Incredible!!
Some really Fantastic pieces with great grades! I particularly like the:
(2000)P 5C Jefferson Over-Struck on a 2000-P 10C Roosevelt Dime and Reverse Missing Clad Layer!
Would be something I would purchase for my Collection!
Where is the mint mark on the 2000 dollar cap?
Thank you!!
I should have put my "1993-P 50C Kennedy Struck 5X Four Strikes 30% Off-Center PCGS MS65" as #4
Thanks... not much meat left on the coin but it's a fairly clean planchet, no corrosion, decent color, and the date was bold... I'm not an error specialist by any stretch... again, thanks for the clarification. Best, Leo

Constitution dollar with medal alignment.
My guess is that it was effaced somewhere between the 50-75 strikes(amount of rings shown).
I handled this die cap over 20 years ago. It’s an amazing mint error!
Mike, I do have to mention that if I hadn't seen this article on your website years ago, I might not have been so aggressive trying to acquire this piece over the years. It's the Centerpiece of my Collection, Thank you!!
I like these two
2-B Low date w/close fraction +180 degree Medallic alignment
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
I have four out of the five. Patiently waiting on the half dime.
Hi Mike Byers,
What do you think happened to the mint mark?

Thumbs up!!
Matt, I still have you listed for dibbies on my 1835 LM-2, if I ever divest! Currently that's not the plan.... but plans do change.

@Bikergeek thanks! And my comment was not meant to pressure in any way
There are a few offcenter half dimes out there I know, and the fun is in the hunt!
