Talk about mint sport! How does a 1971 25-cent get in the one-cent hopper in 1978? Hmmmm.

The label should read "Mint Sport" not "Mint Error"

How can PCGS call something that was intentionally created an error? Here you go, nfine:  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

It's very cool, but definitely a mint assisted "error".
Errers and Varietys.

garbage in my opinion You didn't think it was garbage when it was a 1977 5c struck by those same 1c 1978 dies. To each their own. I love these errors, even if they were the result of shenanigans at the mint, they were still struck at the mint. These coins serve as great examples for what to look for when studying multi-strike coins, especially with nickel composition coins.

I would like a Kennedy half overstrike on an Ike dollar. He pushed passionately for the space program that eventually landed men on the moon. He belongs on a coin with the eagle and moon. =) 40% silver, of course. |
