I am a beginner collector and my most favourite kinds of coins are errors.
So, I have a small collection of minor ring error coins, so I'd like to see if you guys could post some of your error coin pictures!


Error-Coin-Thread!
1969 quarter w/ ring (under offset) writing.

Error-Coin-Thread!
1985 quarter w/ ring (over offset) writing. Blury photo.

Error-Coin-Thread!
1867-1967 dime w/ ring (center offset) writing, also ring from rabbit's back (radius to dead center)
I do have more but the pictures are of terrible quallity. Also the rings were kinda faded due to camera angles. Please share your error coins!

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, those are not true errors, as they are simply coin counting machine marks. They are formed when the coins pass through the rough rolling mechanisms, and are damaged as a result.

Those are PMD coins. Sadly, I've done that to a few general circulation coins out of boredom while sitting at my desk at work, usually with a paperclip clamped down on the coin.

While I only have a few minor error coins from Canada that is posted on a thread somewhere in this forum, last week I posted 2 threads on multi-struck error coins.

After posting these threads I realize that I should have changed it so both threads are not so long (a few hundred photos in total).
