Gee whiz, they are all fantastic error coins.  You won't find these type of coins noodling ,that's for sure.  Got any more?  Thanks for posting these coins too. Edited by crab eater

Not a chance that most of these errors will ever turn up from noodling. I reckon that these sorts of errors are found by the guys working at the security companies that get the bulk deliveries from the mint and then roll them for distribution to banks and retailers. Things that the rolling machines reject. Sweet job to have for collectors, and even if they are not collectors they can make serious money from selling such errors.

That is a seriously good split 20 cent. And your serious about your hobby. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been at it, amassing these rare errors and varieties in top condition and large numbers? ( oh my, can't get my drooling to stop) The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Thanks , I started off collecting back in the early 1980's. I was given a partial set of predecimal coins in an album as a gift. Kicked off from there. Was a bit different back then as a few of the older collectors will know. I started collecting the errors and varieties only about 20 years ago. All up this is 40 years. |

The more gross the error is, the more likely it is to be your favorite.

But as one who is really into the almost perverse attraction to bungled mint output, sometimes I really enjoy a subtle, elegant (IMO) die crack which emerges from a pile of perfect coins. ( is that the wine talking?). I digress. The gnome has a sweet collection, and I am glad I got to see some of his gems. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.
