Dedicated error collectors tend to ignore things like die chips and cracks because they are an accepted part of the minting process and are very prevalent. Unless a coin has "help", there is only a limited number of things that can go wrong on one coin during the minting process. I do believe that there are some known Lincoln doubled dies that also have RPMs but that would be a die variety and not an error With the QC measures that have been in place for the past decade(usage of riddlers, scanning production runs, etc), the number of errors getting out has been dramatically reduced.

Then you may want to check out Fred Weinberg and Mike Byers, two top error dealers.

Cool! Thanks for the responses! Keep 'em coming!

The chinese coin is really cool!

I seen Charmy's coin the other day, Thad. I wonder how that even got out of the mint?

I know, but I still think they are fun! Especially if they are well-placed and an element of what I call "art" to the coin.

That's what I'm talking about! Now throw in a chip, a crack, off-center, double-struck, struck-thru!

It was put into a mint bag after being made. Some lucky buyer got the bag and went through it and found that......pure luck.

At one of the coin shows in my area there is a dealer that specializes in error coins. Usually his table has many hundreds of them in all denominations, types, etc. Usually though most are just offsets, blanks, half blanks. Has had a few man made ones too like the two faced or two tailed varieties. Every once in a while he does have a waffled coin or dime on cent types. It is fun to look them all over when he has a new batch.
I really wonder sometimes about the blanks. So many look like a washer company product.

Hmmm. Never really thought about that. Other than weighing it, what else could be done to authenticate it?

Any other tests would cost more than it was worth, so I guess you either take their word for it or pass.

Thad, even without the errors, some of those cents are JAW DROPPING in eye appeal...

I found a cent that has four die cracks on the reverse. Yeah, maybe it's not that impressive, but I found it and it only cost me a cent, so I think it's pretty cool.

Oh, do any of you remember that coin (cent?) on ebay several months ago whose title was something like, "They struck this cent four times and didn't get any of them right"? Sure enough, all four strikes were way off center!

Yes, Charmy's collection is awesome!

lizzyjo, I don't remember seeing that one. Sounds interesting, and the title is funny, too!

I once saw a 1939-D Wheat cent with a curved clip, straight clip, RPM,and a rotated die. It was at a flea market, but it was kind of expensive.

Mentioned it due to where I live there are numerous factories that produce nuts, bolts, screws and washers. Not to mention how far back this was but someone I used to know worked in one of them. This was in the days of pay phones. Where he worked they made wasers with no holes that matched Cents, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters. Mostly for pay phones but also for many other vending machines.
Many banks in this area have had their fill of rolls brought in by customers with similar blanks made in those factories. Most banks in this area now require people to leave all coinage for shipping out to a counting place and there is a charge for this.
Remember if you worked in a place that makes washers and you know what your doing, you could make a washer out of almost any material. And you could make them look almost like a coin.
Imagine too the people that make all those magician coins. Two headed, two tailed, cent/dime, quarter/nickel and many, many more.
One trip to a magicians shop makes me always wonder how many error coins are really real.
