Thank you sir! I always admire your thread posts and coins you show us from time to time. Great and rare errors you own that I don't even have.

Those are impressive. I know some people don't care for errors and only like mint state beauties never touched but I find errors to be just as important to the hobby as anything else. Thanks for sharing these they are inspirational to me to try and find an example of each type.

 

By the way what is meant by partial collar?

 

Kennedy errors are fun to collect!

 

errors are cool.

 

nice stuff.

 

MKent, great question. I have a nice Bicentennial Quarter Partial Collar that shows the following - "Railroad Rim", these strikes are the result of a planchet not fully seated in the collar during strike. Metal not restrained by the collar spreads out, giving the edge of the coin a lip.

 

So you will like this one. My Best Kennedy Error!

 

Thanks Paddyman those pictures really helped explain it. I'm learning everyday on this forum and I appreciate it.

 

Does NGC offer showcase sets for error coins, like PCGS does with their "Collectors Showcase"?? You have a ton of NGC error coins, and that is also a cool way to display your collection.

Yes they do. Plus at NGC, not only can you put your NGC slabs in the set but also any PCGS slabs you want to add.

 

That is a nice looking coin.

I’m not sure which one is my favorite, below is a link to a set that my son and I have been working on of Kennedy Errors.

I am kind of fond of the 1971-S “Strong Clashed Dies with 180 degree Rotated Dies” after the die clash.

I also like the 1983-P with “Clashed, Counter-Clash Obverse & Reverse Dies”.

The two 1964 “Struck 10% Off Centered & Cupped” are also interesting.

Very impressive registry. Did you find these or purchase them from dealers? I always hope to find an error like these but I don't think roll searching will produce them. Do you have any suggestions as to where to look?

 

I like how odd they look in slabs. Some of them must have taken a bit of engineering and a dremel to get some to fit lol

 

We picked up some of them from dealers, some from other collectors, found a few searching mint sets, a couple from members of these message boards as gifts to my son and the two 1971-S Proof “Clashed Dies” from Dr. James Wiles after negotiating price for over three years.

 

Nice collection !

 

I got this one on Monday. Sacagawea!
