I pulled 4 out and as I do not collect errors that much I would love others to look at them. I find all of them interesting and the guy has a box of just odd stuff. The 1st one I am posting is a very worn 1855 Dime. this thing has (Raised multiple lettering) not pressed in like a vise job. this thing looks like it has been struck 4 times and one of them it had been rotated.
