@jacrispies, thanks for pointing out there is a difference between an error and a variety. I found a PCGS page that talks about it to edumacate myself. Some coins can be both an error and a variety. https://www.PCGS.com/news/coin-error-or-varietySo I assume my 1801 three errors cent is an error coin and maybe also a variety? I like that is shows 1/000 value, maybe where our fiat dollar is headed if inflation gets really bad.  Edited by livingwater

@AmericanCoinMan, you've started new topics by asking questions. If you have a collection, could you show us some of your coins when you start a topic? What do you collect? Thanks.

So I assume my 1801 three errors cent is an error coin and maybe also a variety? I would consider the three errors a variety because it was a problem with the dies, and many coins were struck like that. I view errors as "one off" coins that are unique because of a mistake in the manufacturing process. Varieties are die events that appear on many coins. Sometimes it is hard to draw the line of what is an error or variety. AcesKings, nice half! The lamination is cool enough to be observed, but not large enough to be distracting. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

Majority of my errors are Buffalo nickels. Clipped planchets, large lamination peels, etc. A few IHC clipped planchets as well. My only real major error is an off metal, AU 1964 LMC struck on a dime planchet. |

If you consider the Wheat Back Cent a classic I do have this roll find from many years ago.   |

Not quite "classic" but it is 103 years old, a broadstruck 1919 Lincoln Cent.   Paul Bulgerin

Depends upon what your definition of "classic" is. If you mean 1857 and before (the era of large cents), I have one. I have an 1811 Half Cent with the 4-star Cud. If you mean renown errors, I have another. It's an 1894/1894 IHC. I used to have others but I changed my collecting interest and sold them. |

Here's my War Nickel delam. These things are so common that I barely paid over melt for it. What surprises me is how long it circulated. There's no way you could put this in a vending machine.   "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire
