So, are there any ASE errors out there? I assume the process of minting and inspection would be much more stringent than other coinage. What would something like that be worth? |

Errors on SAEs are quite rare(the only ones I have seen are struck-throughs) and there is only one known variety- the 2008W w/2007 reverse.

The 2008 American Silver Eagle is the obvious error that comes to mind. The 2008 coins changed to a different font, best identified by the "U" in United States on the obverse. Starting in 2008, the "U" should have a serif on the bottom right side. The error coins have the 2007 and earlier style of U.

Yes, I guess I did read about that 2008 error and the change in the "U" from an upside down to a more normal "U" with the downstroke.
I guess I referring to double dies, strikes, caps etc.

Anybody ever seen a half stamp off center eagle? Now that would be a special high cost coin I bet, via 2 to 3 hundred....

I bought 2 rolls of 2008's in the summer. Is one worth a lot more then the other? Don't really want to handle them if it is not worth it.

Exactly, I was curious about off center strikes, etc. Does anyone know if the inspection process is more strigent when it comes the bullion coins?

Oversized errors on a bullion Silver Eagle would be virtually impossible since they are sold by the Mint in tubes(25 tubes per green monster box). If it cannot fit in a tube, it should not be able to leave the Mint.

Did not know about that one, coinwatch. I knew that the SAE date shrunk for newest issues, but did not know that the font for the reverse changed as well.

As already stated, the most common error is struck through coins. Of these there are some major examples in this series. The only others that I remember seeing was a finned rim, defective planchet, a couple small clips, and I think I remember seeing a partial collar. Many of the errors that I've seen were 2008-2012 too.

I also forgot to mention, there have been a couple weak strike (DAS?) errors. And I've seen a couple authenticated planchets on ebay. I believe they came with a certificate that stated a population of 500 or so. Also, and I just remembered this, there have been a few die cracks on too. |

I think it is safe to say error coin knows a thing or two on error coins or bullion even as in this case as this is obviously a hobby foir him ;).....
Great thing about the world of coins, bullion, and paper currency. Many different sub branches of collecting to get into and of course with that comes new studies and knowledge...
Just not enough time in the day to learn all there is to know just in this genre, much less the entire universe lol....

Very nice set.
Do you know what the green matter is? It looks like a piece of glass to me.
