Active Foreign Error Collectors

I am a passive collector of foreign errors. That is, if I notice one in a junk box I will pick it up, but I don't make much effort to buy them for anything more than those prices.

We(my wife and I) are world coin collectors as well. We tend to buy what we like and yes sometimes we buy world error coins as well. I have never bought a US coin error but world coin errors are a different story. These are very hard to find in our area so we only have a couple.

I was actually looking at a coin on vcoins a couple nights ago. It would've been our 1st online purchase of an error. Passed on it though, but it does have a descent die crack on the obverse.

I've noticed LOTS of overdates on Colombia coins.

And die cracks! I seem to like them better than most. Too bad they are of low interest.

I haven't posted in this forum for awhile now since switching over to Global Currency errors and posting them on Facebook and Twitter.

I just wanted to share some pics of a previous post on some India error coins I submitted to ANACS about 15 years ago, and as I unpack the coins, I'll try and post them here.

I've been collecting coins over 50 years, and when ebay entered my life 20+ years ago, I sold everything and focused on Error Coins & Currency.

My primary focus was on USA at first, then when ebay sales were selling over retail, I moved over to the Global Market as many errors can be had at a fraction of what the same type error would be on U.S. errors.

(These are some of the photos stored here on CCF)










I had this certified as being Broadstruck around 15 years ago at the ANACS Table, and after receiving the 2016 India Coin Errors book, believe the reverse side matches the 'Counter-Brockage' photos.















This also matches the 'Counter-Brockage' Photos in the India Errors Book (The photos in this reply are from a earlier post, and will be posting pages from the book when time permits).






The above is just a small sample of my Global Error Coins and after posting some Currency errors & a Census on rare Web-Press Error Notes, I hope to remove my other Error coins from storage & post here.


And the only Triple Serial Number Error Note to ever enter circulation.
The 3rd set of serial numbers had been printed over the Inspectors Rejection Marks.
Coin World article from Feb.2009 has yet to locate a second example to date.



I recently joined Twitter and have been posting my errors there, if anyone is interested my username is "Broken_Coin_Guy" , and currently looking for others that enjoy Global Errors,

Collecting foreign errors is lots of fun. You get to chat with and deal with collectors/dealers from all over the world.

I've been collecting (and now) selling dramatic double strikes, brockages, and off centers for many years.



I recommend it,

Hi sel_69l,

I still have some very rare and unusual crown-sized foreign errors left, but just can't keep everything forever.
I'll write to you privately and see if we can get together on big prices. (Others are invited to chime in).

I am...GOD Bless
