YOU CAN STILL FIND ERRORS LIKE THIS IN CIRCULATION

KENNEDY HALF KENNEDY HALF KENNEDY HALF

Heritage will present this error coin in their next auction.
It is a 1973-S and graded Proof 64, Cameo.

It is a triple strike.
The triple affect is more obvious on the reverse with the lettering on ALF DO.

Current bid $1,500.

Today, it is rare to find an error of this magnitude and especially on a proof.

INDIAN CENTS HAVE ERRORS TOO

The coin failed to fully eject from the dies.
It was graded AU-58 by PCGS.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ERROR

Here is a strike of amazing rarity. A dime struck on a nail.

PCGS even graded this as MS-65.

This showed up in the recent FUN convention in Florida and was put up for bids.
After lively action, the gavel pounded down a winning price of $42,300.

The printing error is obvious on this One Dollar bill presented to us by LCC member Dany R.
The reverse has no error.

Look closely to see the misaligned die in this 1971D obverse cent.

Notice how "WE TRUST" is running off the coin while the rim on the
opposite side looks like it is doubled.

This cent from the Sean Williams collection is a 2009 "Formative Years" coin.
Look closely and find Lincoln's "extra finger".

The error on this 1983 cent is now easier to see.
Look closely at the somewhat tilted parallel dark marks going through the center of the coin.
Those are the columns of the Lincoln Memorial and was formed by a die cap.

In this 2004 Cent the letters on the reverse are "stretched out". You have to look closely to see it.

DON'T GAMBLE ON A COIN FLIP USING THIS COIN, UNLESS YOU CALL HEADS.

This is the reverse. Yes, the reverse. This was brought in by Mark P. Below are the obverse and reverse next to each other.

It is a magician's coin. Two obverses fused together.
I bet it fooled a lot of people.

WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

This 1983P quarter submitted by member Mark P. shows a raised line through "OF AMERICA".
No one seems to know its cause. Do you? If so, write us.

STATE QUARTER SHOWS SOMETHING IS WRONG

This 2002D Mississippi State Quarter, found in circulation by your webmaster in 2003, shows that something substantial, like a wire, was in the way when this coin was struck, creating this deeply incused crease.

This coin was submitted to "Coin World" and appeared in their Feb. 17, 2003 issue. There was some debate at the Coin World office whether the missing clad layer was the result of the wire or some other impurities in the planchet at the time.

Interestingly, this coin was found in change received at Meijer from a new roll the cashier just opened.

This is a very deep die cap error. It is a 1999 cent graded MS-63 Red.
It shows a bonded pair of planchets struck off-center.
Notice at the top there are two coins bonded together. A rare find indeed.

A huge error.
A 1965 broad struck nickel with obverse indent. Graded MS-64 by NGC.

Here is a special kind of error, a Broad Struck Lincoln Cent. The obverse was struck through a capped die.
It was given the MS-64 Red designation by NGC.
