Now that I got several albums full just missing that tricky 1909 S VDB.  I have been more interested in finding a good error coins over any keydate coin. I am slowly building my error collection. I was wondering what is your favorite ones you found? I know there are websites with top 50 and coneca top 100 etc, but I am most interested in CFF member top picks.  Not necessary the most valuable or wanted onesLooking for favorites that are findable "error" or "variety coins....That I can try to find. Could Be Anything RPM, DDO, DDR, Cud, OMM, DMM & ETC I guess in addition Cuds, chips, die cracks, dropped letters, Machine Doubling, filled-dies, BIE's, clashed dies and lamination errors it could be any year so maybe just the type. THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES THAT I HAVE (NOTE: I HAVE NOT BEEN COLLECTING TO LONG YET) I got a few 2x2 100 boxes filled so far mostly, BIE, die cracks, chips and minor things. Each find no matter how small a find it is. Is still fun...   1922 No D Die #2 1954-S S/S rpm #4 1955 DDO 5/5 Poormans 1960-D Small Over Large Date 1970-S/S North 1995 Doubled Die Obverse 1997 Doubled Ear DDO |

#3 1983P-1DR-001
#2 1995D-1DO-003
