This is the last of the error types on the Lincolns to get figured out. Any others are multiples of what I have posted. Tons of off-centers, about a dozen broadstrikes, and a couple doubles of what I have posted so far.

But there are still more errors to get through, so a few more posts yet after this one.

I am calling this a doublestrike with partial indent. But I have questions. Do you call such a doublestrike and off-center doublestrike? The liberty and outline of Lincoln's back is light, but there in the indent, so is this just a normal indent or is there a separate name when such details can be seen?

Thanks everyone for all the great responses and help figuring out all these coins!

Wow! I know nothing about these, but it looks pretty severe. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a triple strike. Nice error.

Well, you obviously got a great deal, want to share a few with your CCF friends!! Just kidding, awesome error here. I call it an off centered double strike with around a 45% indent. AWESOME!
Rest in Peace

Thanks for the very kind words everyone! And it will make you weep to know the details but it is not a secret. Here they are although there are a couple coins I'm not counting as they were in the lot but a separate bag and mostly non-errors like plated coins. Whoever had these knew an error from damage, which is why that one with the incluse lettering stamped on the reverse and second date mirrored on Lincoln's vest still bothers me about it being PMD since it was in the error bag).

115 Lincoln off-center
13 Lincoln broadstrike
3 Lincoln doublestrike
2 Lincoln brockage
2 Lincoln partial indents
1 Lincoln struck through late-stage die cap
2 Roosevelt off-center
1 Roosevelt missing plating on obverse
9 Washington broadstrike
1 Washington 40% off-center
1 Washington partial brockage with partial collar
1 Washington 25% off-center doublestrike
17 Kennedy most all off-center 5-15% with one about 50%
1943-P nickel FS-106 low grade
1964-D quarter labeled DDR haven't looked at yet
Couple of strays like 2000WAM and 1943 clogged 4

So, would you pay $210 for all that? I did.

That's just nuts tropical what a score! Congrats and good work on getting these all on here with the research you did good! I saw that one coin you reference I too think it looked to be PMD but hold onto for now why not. It's possible this guy had a friend or relative that worked at the Mint who he got all these from and he found that one coin on his own and thought it to be an error

Well, Dustin, no collection would be complete without 100+ Lincoln off-centers in it! No, seriously, other than my wheat cents I just collect this or that coin that I find interesting. I plan on pulling out some of these for my personal collection but I suspect the rest will more than cover the purchase price.

tropicalbats, concerning the cents posted thus far and one dime. I notice a few things.

1. They look really awesome.
2. They look to be in nearly pristine condition.
3. They all are 2000 or 2001.
4. They all show very little if any signs of die flow.

Was wondering if the majority of cents is from the two years mentioned and if they all are in a similar condition?

One "strike" error on a coin is typical, two is still common, three or more takes a lot circumstances to fall into place.

Starting to wonder if some of them may have been assisted. Thanks, Doug.

adding they all seemed to have been hand picked straight from the hopper and stored extremely well for the last 15 to 16 years.

edit: was reminded after reading another post. Thought I should include "strike" above as die condition errors can multiply like rabbits. ie die chips, cracks and breaks.

Halo, things all worth wondering over. Here's some more info. The Lincoln broadstrikes and off-centers are all 1999, 2000, or 2001, and as you have seen so are most of the other Lincolns. How many different dies were invoiced would probably help answer things a bit, but that's a lot of coins to go through hunting down matching die markers. For these, I suspect someone had access to error coins either at the mint or from the mint and this collection was created. It is course worth thinking about.

The quarters are mostly States Program and a variety of years. A quick look at a couple I see 1995, 2000, 2004 x 5 (three different states). So not as consistant and mostly from different years than the Lincolns.

Most of the Kennedys are from 1995, so again a quite different year than the Lincolns. They vary in size of the off-center but at least a couple I looked at seem to be from the same die, so probably created by one die and found all at the same time by someone. One bad collar put out a series of coins, was found and corrected by the mint and I ended up with the set of them that was produced. Just a theory of course, but seems reasonable, given that I know very little about the actual minting processes.

The other coins are here and there on dates, but there is a 2000 off-center dime and nickel in there so it would seem that the majority of this collection was built around that time frame, with the quarters added later.

Thanks again everyone for all the great comments! Happy to be able to show some great error coins and learn so much while doing it. Heck, I didn't even know how to SPELL brockage correctly until I posted one (with the spelling wrong of course).
