That's an amazing set! Very impressive. Lots of fun and an attainable goal to actually fill in those wholes in a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure you got some real deals on some of those.

Thanks guys!  robbudo, Believe it or not, your set of error Indian cents is partly what inspired me to put this set together. When I saw your set I thought that was the coolest thing that all the dates had "something wrong" with them! It makes your set really interesting to look at (not that I don't enjoy slobbering all over a "normal" set). LOL!  |

OK I have to ask, where did you get all of them? Buy, rolls or find in change. Been searching coins for about 14 years and never found one of those.
Very nice set.

I keep them in 2X2 holders in a 3-ring binder. I would love to have them in a Dansco album or something like that, since it would look a lot better, but since they are not a uniform size or shape I haven't found a way to do that.

Hmm...I never really thought of making a dated set of off center cents. Are you going to try for all seven of the 1982 cents?
Just an idle question - how do we know all the dates and mints even exist?
That has always been one of the major reasons I haven't had much interest in errors - we don't really know what's out there...what's possible to find,a nd what's not - nature of the beast.
With die varieties, if one example of a given die is known, there's a decent chance there are at least more out there - somewhere.
By the way, very nice collection. I will look around and see if I can find anything that might help you along. I always have a few odds and ends around here.

I know all the Memorials exist up to at least then. Post 2001 dated off centers tend to be very minor and are hard to find. There are a few 60's and 70's dates that are exceptionally tough to find and of course command some hefty premiums, but they do exist. I recently saw a 2004 on ebay that I forgot to bid on...D'OH  Quote:

Yup, I agree. However, when you've looked at these off centers for a while, you start noticing the same dates that seem to pop up for sale fairly frequently. It gives you at least somewhat of a foggy idea of which dates are tough and which ones are common. Quote:
