Anyone know of any modern none standard die varieties?

By this I mean not a rpm, DDO, DDR and also not a error not really the big things in CPG but the little oddities very seldom collected anymore but at one time where.

I purchased some old books and seen some funny, odd or non standard varieties.

Does anyone here have some interesting or silly ones to add? And if you know the nickname for them even better.

some more commonly known ones

A Bar Nickel (bar zero)
1960-D nickel with the area above the zero filled with a diechip or bar shape blob.

BIE
Die chip filling in area in between letters B E on the word liberty on Lincoln Cents.

Bugs on Wheat
Large size die chip on wheat stalk reverse of a Wheat cent.

Spiked heads
head to rim diecracks on the Lincoln Cent

Floating Roof
Grease Filled Die making look like the top of the Lincoln memorial is floating

2005 nickel detached leg
2005-P Westward Journey Bison nickels with a "Detached Leg" abraded die variety.

2005 nickel, the Speared Bison
2005 nickel, the Speared Bison. It's a die crack running north and south through the Bison.

Missing Porch
Another abraded die variety

Floating Adams Apple variety
Yet Another abraded die variety

Spitting Horse
A die crack on 1999 Delaware Washington quarter that looks like the horse is spitting

For Example.

Rounded Hairline Proofs

All the different names they gave the 50 states Quarter program. They give names that get people to want to collect that were common die errors. (chips, gouges) I remember one called the spitting horse. There were a lot of names they used to sell there non value coins for a premium. (some fell for it) They never made a publication.

I know that most where or are common, or of no real extra value. But I wanted to make a album full of all the silly ones I could find also makes searching for true varieties fun when in-between a huge gap you find a spitting horse.

Ugh, Spandone's book IMO that book did serious damage to the hobby years ago by making many collectors believe that every little "oddity" on a coin made it a special little snowflake. That pile of dreck deserves nothing less than the Fahrenheit 451 treatment
