    I just love this new flea market dealer Ive been dealing with for a while now. I nearly tapped him out of all his errors.
    He purchased a hoard of error coins from the late Arnold Margolis, founder and editor of Mint Error News magazine.
    Heres what I got today.

    1857 cent with an obv cud VG (some slight corrosion possibly)
    1940 s/s mercury dime RPM unc bu
    1948 d dime Struck through wire on the reverse, unc bu (possible rpm?)
    1920 buffalo nickel with obv Cud VF
    1833 rotated die cent VG

    Pics attached.
    Please feel free to grade them for me. Any problems with them? More errors?

    Nice finds, I especially like the Merc RPM. I have the same one, found it in a $100 face bag of Merc's.

    That 1857 cent is not a cud but a clashed die! It is a S-9 which is clashed with a seated half dollar! It is also in the cherry picker guide as a FS-402. Very nice find indeed!

    I too notice this, but didn't have time to post last night. Glad someone else did. Definitely a nice one to overlook. Even if not that valuable in this condition, a very cool variety nonetheless.

    Not much difference in value , but what a unique error. I have a lot of cuds. Ill take an early cent clashed with a half dollar over a small cud anyday. Its the only one of the errors pictured I didnt list for sale. Im glad I didnt now.
