Here is one of my more interesting coins: 1921-P with a clip and a few other things going on, a rim Cud near the date, and a strike-thru on the reverse in states.

What a coincidence, I was just about to make one....

But seriously, to the forum and I have no classic coin errors at least that I can think of.

The question has been asked before, but who remembers when? We used to get the coin-by-year threads too. It's been a while.

I have a War Nickel delamination, with metal hanging from the coin. Surprisingly it never broke off after years of wear. I also have several great bust half dollar die clashes, also well worn. Parts of E Pluribus Unum show on the obverse, and on one the eagle appears as a ghost. I looked for affordable examples once I figured out which Overton varieties they were. Whether you distinguish this as a mint error or not, there is no doubt that it resulted form the mint's error in making a strike without a planchet present.

Here's one of the most dramatic and easy to obtain bust half clashes: the 1813 Overton 110. These coins used to be plentiful, but have gotten harder to find, especially in low grades.

https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...on-110/39472

Another dramatic variety is the 1795 Overton 110a flowing hair half. The massive obverse double die crack (starting at RTY, and continuing into the stars) is visible in the PCGS link on high grade specimens. But the real drama is in the later strikes. The crack weakens the date strike, to the point that the date partially disappears.As with the 1813, these used to be fairly easy to find.

I have some die clashes on Barber dimes but that's about it. I suppose there are other threads like this in the Errors section but they don't interest me that much.

I have some clashed Morgan and Peace. Here are four. The 1878 8TF has the upper part of the letter O missing on the reverse. I posted it on Vamworld and nobody recalled seeing a similar one. I assume it might be a struck thru.

I just remembered I do have a 1921 Vam-3 Line through L Peace dollar that is pretty neat.

Clashes are varieties, not errors. Nice coins though!

@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-variety

So 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.

@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.

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.
