I have a few quarter errors loaded on the CU server so they're easiest to post. Funny thing, they are all dated 1997. Got to start out with a poptop to get the idea of perfection:
PCGS MS-67 None Graded Higher:
Clip, properly called incomplete planchet, this one has 3 clips and this has 1 large clip:
Off center:
Quarter on nickel planchet:
Missing clad layer:
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
If you like wrong planchets you should like this. Lincoln struck on a dime planchet: Or how about a cent struck on an actual DIME? A true double dated double denomination coin. The copper particles from the die gives this a light copper color & interesting peripheral tone.

Old Nucklehead talked me out of that triple clip and at the last coin show I found two of the offset Jeffs. $2 each. So I got one for me and gave the other to Nuck. Couldn't beat the price.
Finally a request for images that's right up my alley!
1959 cent double-clipped, split before strike:
Clipped 1858/7 Flying Eagle (Late die state):
And just to show I'm not just about clips, here's a birth year set of off-centers, all dated 1970-D (no half, though):

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Here's one you don't see very often!! The Red one is PCGS VF25 and is in my Set Registry!! The slate grey is PCGS VF20! BTW, The Red one is slate gray also. Bad picture.

This one is an offset Jefferson similar to another Nuck has.
If he can't post them, I will.
