Coins that receive a lot of flack

Here are two: 1913 Liberty nickels and 1922 plain cents.

The 1913 nickels get flack because they weren't an authorized mint issue.

The 1922 cent gets flack because nobody would know it was an error if any cents had been minted in Philadelphia.


Any others come to mind?

    Wisconsin quarter high/low leafs. They get flack because they're just considered some Mint people playing around. image
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    This is small beans compared to the 1913 Liberty nickels and 1922 plain cents but, the average collector ( ones that don`t have thick wallets or want to part it for trivial reasons ) aren`t going to part with $5000 for a 1995-W Silver Eagle. The " W " is trivial unless your the one selling. It`s just another hunk of silver with a " W " on it. Not unless I`m missing something.

    The S-VDB has taken a beating on these forums . . . 'common', 'overrated', 'hyped', 'available by the score at shows'. I started to think I could find a couple out in the street if I'd only take the time to look.

    But . . . I DO like mine . . . although many might count it in your "coins that receive a lot of flak (using the WWII spelling)".

    Who is giving the 1913 Nickel a lot of 'flack'? (I mean besides the three people on this forum).

    That's a good point. I've seen it take a lot of flack, but haven't kept track of who. image

    What about the 1802 Half Dime. Insanely high premiums and many in the know refuse to take any action on them and swear that they are massively over valued.

    The 1956 flying eagle and the high relief saint are over rated in my opinion.
    The 1884 and 1885 trade dollars made by the midnight minters and weren't authorized issues

    The 1844 dime. Don't buy the "Little Orphan Annie" hype. These coins, despite their rather low mintage, are seen with regularity. Plenty of Seated Dime dates with higher mintages are much harder to find.

    I see a lot of bashing on all of 3 cent silvers, just because they are so small.
