Those are incredible! I love the '82 with the part of the other dollar attached.

I have similar errors with similar dates and even the offstruck angles are similar for the 1976 and 1982 - I wonder if they originally came out of the same mint bag as yours. I analyzed the 1982 Constitution dollar which looks like it is struck on a 25c planchet. It is 75% copper and 25% nickel, so it is actually struck on a New Zealand 10c planchet. The 1982 Constitution double struck is a sweet coin... thanks for sharing.

The constiution one is not struck on a new zealand ten cent planchet , too big for that . In my notes I have it as on a barbados 25 cent . The 76 dollar is on a 50 cent planchet . The 81 is also on a barbados 25 cent planchet .

I guess the photo was deceiving to my eye. I checked my 1982 Constitution dollar coin and it is even smaller than yours. Mine is the exact weight and composition for a New Zealand Cu-Ni 10c planchet. I wonder how many other oddities exist for that particular coin...

With all these coins struck on different planchets, how do they carry a value. From what I hear they are made by mint workers causing trouble and having fun and then throwing them into circulation. Not really a dye or planchet strike error!

When the Constitution dollar errors were first available they seemed to come from only a couple dealers at the time . I have seen several off metals , a couple of large broadstrikes , a few off centers , a couple of partial brockages and a few other types . I would estimate that perhaps there are about 30 major errors that are out there on the 82's .

They carry value because people collect them :-) . The origins of such errors is always open to debate . Most of them do indeed result from mistakes in the manufacturing process .

I assume your estimate excludes the coinage axis strikes, and the thin planchets (both medal and coinage axis). I think there are countless more minor errors out there for this year. I have a triple clip 1982 dollar and have assembled an "around the clock" set of clips on the 1982 Constitution dollars, something I have not been able to do for any other year.

My estimate is for the major striking/planchet errors on them . It doesn't include things as die rotations or minor clips . I think the thin planchet ones are way over hyped/priced . I remember one dealer had quite the number of 82 errors in his display one year at a torex . Moores also use to have them in their auctions ( probably from this same dealer - speculation here ).
