There's the 1800 "LIBEKTY" half-dime... Can you think of other examples where words were misspelled on coins?

    Die cracks on seated halves often make "HALF" look like "HALE"

    and die chips on Lincolns end up with "LIBIERTY"

    There is also the CONTINENTAL CURENCY misspelling caused by a spacing problem on some of the Continental Currency patterns.

    A neat little trivia aside about the Continental Currency Patterns... they were designed by Benjamin Franklin.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Its not a coin, but a Civil War Token which says, "shoot him on the spoot" instead of "spot."

    I've got a 1982 Lincoln cent I found in change that year which has a cool cud die break that wipes out the word TRUST from the motto so all it reads is IN GOD WE and then there is a blob. Does that count?
