jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 12:10 pm Awesome errors so far with some great pictures.As for me I love off center Lincolns.This 1982 weighs 3.2 grams so it is one of the last true copper memorial Cents..I have from 1980 to 2001 all Philadelphia mint and a few from the 70s.I'm going for the best possible condition I can get for the least amount of money.If the copper plating has separated from the core exposing the zinc I don't normally buy it.a little bit on a tough date maybe Edited by jasper62 07/20/2011 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 8:41 pm Because no one has listed a VAM Morgan yet, here's one more. If you don't know what a VAM is check here. http://www.vamworld.com/ This is an 1878-P unattributed VAM-38 in PCGS MS-62. This VAM has Doubling on the letters, date, eye, nose, lips and most other details on the portrait. The '78 VAM-38 has the most spread in the word LIBERTY of any Morgan VAM. If you want to look at HUGE detailed photos of this VAM (up to 4600 X 3000), click the link and follow the "+" to view all sizes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kostyn...27119168755/ To view all of my error and rare coins photos, click this link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kostynracing/ ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting?

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 10:28 pm My favorite error is the only one I currently have. Its a dime planchet with 90-95% offset (hope I have the term correct). The part shown is around 8 o'clock on obverse/10 o'clock on reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

I also had a saddle struck cent that both strikes were off-center by about 95% with a large arched area in the center of the coin. I love errors, if you didn't notice.

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 07/21/2011 08:16 am Mine are a 1983LMC DDR graded MS 63 by ICG. I found it in a roll about 2 years ago. The other is an XF 1857 FE cent with doubled letters, a doubled eye and broken wing tip bought on ebay without realizing it was a Snow variety until I looked at it closely in hand. The seller missed it too. Those mis-struck coins in this post are awesome. Edited by numismo 07/21/2011 08:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/21/2011 10:09 am The problem is that your coins are varieties and not errors. But they are nice coins in my book. Report this Post to the Staff
Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 07/21/2011 10:57 am If I am going to reply at all to this thread, I would have to share three coins..... I have tried to pick one over the others, but decided to share all three.... I have pulled all three from circulation.... 1. 2000 off-strike 2. 1954 die chip (chunk) 3. 1998 Feeder Finger Damage Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 07/22/2011 08:38 am You're right coop. Mine are the wrong category. Guess I just had to pop my suspenders. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 7:59 pm Coop, True, but all variety coins started with someone making an error at the mint. They just made a mistake that resulted in the same outcome for more than one coin. Some coins ride the line between error and variety, too. I only posted the VAM to show the OP what it was, not that it was an error, or even my favorite coin. I love both error and variety coins and wanted to show what a nice VAM looks like.

KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 09:42 am My favorite is still my 1882 O over S Morgan dollar. It also has a nice die clash. Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 09:46 am Edit: The die clash is from an 1882 CC Morgan. I like it too . Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 10:03 am Found this roll searching a while back. Some said it was a die gouge, but I honestly don't know. My favorite, the 1982 no P I also found roll searching but I think it's a varitey? or is it an error? Report this Post to the Staff
