Many thanks for posting Zonad,

these errors are stunning...my head's spinning.

I think my favourite is the 1872 5-time struck....to think it has survived this long...and with nice toning too!

Thank you. Unfortunately I have found almost nothing in change as far as errors go. The majority of these were purchased in 1 lot privately a year ago. I was very fortunate to acquire these.

I think these errors have found a great new home. Nice that you have the original Zoell literature to accompany them.

Zonad...I'm assuming this is a lifetime collection?

I've never seen Vicky errors like this, so I'm assuming that they're extremely rare, and in some cases, probably unique.

I believe the previous collector purchased many of these from the Zoell mail auctions held in the 1960's. He passed away in the 1980's and they sat in a drawer for 23 years. I don't know his last name, and have to respect the privacy of the seller. For me it was an extraordinary opportunity which I couldn't pass up.

That 1859 cent offstrike is beautiful. I hadn't seen that one before! It looks mint state condition...
