mint errors

Nice, lustrous MS64 example of a clipped peace dollar. 

1922-D Peace dollar with 30 degree rotated dies. Technically right on the edge of "tolerance", but an "error" in how unusual it is to have this large a rotation. 

Major struck thru obverse, with the date looking like the year "22" instead of "1922."  NGC did not assign a grade, but we grade it MS62

ANACS $1 1921 Morgan dollar with a nice cracked planchet at 8:00. More visible than you typically see with cracked Morgan dollars, and overall above average eye-appeal.    MS62

Partial collar strike, with the coin having been struck only partially inside the collar die. As a result, there is reeding on only about 3/4 of the edge.

Small clip at 10 o'clock. We would call it a "rim clip."

NGC 1971-S proof Kennedy half die adjustment strike and struck thru on the obverse. On the obverse, the coin is struck through some sort of textured substance, similar to sandpaper. What it is, we do not know, but it is interesting and unusual. …

NGC 2000-D Virginia state quarter die adjustment strike, with the coin missing much of the design on the obverse and reverse.    Ungraded, but we would grade the coin MS64 

Scarce state for missing clad layers, and a superb, high grade example!

Super high grade example--scarce this nice!

PCGS 1999-P Georgia state quarter struck on a Jefferson nickel planchet. The planchet is smaller than the normal quarter planchet, with a weight of about 5 grams. It is also smaller than a quarter, with portions of the outer lettering and design miss…

Superb example, with blazing red luster on the state side.

PCGS 1974-D Washington quarter struck on Lincoln cent planchet. The coin is copper-alloy, and is smaller than a normal quarter. Dramatic in appearance, and nicely positioned with the full date and mintmark visible. Ex-Harrison Phillips Collection MS6…

PCGS 1973-S proof Washington quarter struck on a Lincoln cent planchet. The coin is struck on the much smaller, copper-alloy cent planchet, and weighs only about 3.1 grams! It is missing some of the outer design elements, but nicely shows the full da…

NGC 1978 Washington quarter struck on a nickel planchet. The coin is struck on the smaller nickel size planchet, and is the metal of a nickel as well. It weighs 5 grams, which is correct for a nickel.  The off-metal occurred when a nickel planch…

PCGS CAC 1942/1 Mercury dime overdate, with the 1942/1 very obvious. A popular an well known overdate variety, and also in a nice grade.   VF35 CAC

PCGS 1936 Mercury dime broadstruck with a nice expansion in size. The coin was struck out of collar, allowing it to expand beyond its normal diameter.  A very scarce date for broadstruck Mercury dimes--only mintstate example we can find a refere…

NGC Jefferson nickel struck 55% off-center on a clad dime blank. The blank weighs 2.25 grams, which is the weight of a clad dime. It is also much smaller than a normal nickel, being the size of a dime. Scarce error type.   MS65 with a hint of go…
