Beauties, beauties! What kind of error is the dime, very nice?

Here's one of my favorite error coins, (1931-S) but picking one favorite coin is extremely difficult for me. :bow:

 

My most prized coin is the 1908 No Motto Saint. It's also my most expensive. But I am really partial to the Alaska Bear Proof. I like the combination of gold and silver. It's just a beautiful coin.

 

vvvvvvvvvery nice. 4 generations, pretty awesome! I can see why they would be your prize possessions: )

 

Nice picture! Fascinating! Is that also a die crack across the braid and ear area?

I am not sure the error on mee dime. It has like a mound with a crater and the torch and leaves are stamped inside and around the top of the mound. I don't know how else to explain it. I'm going to try to put up bigger pictures of it in the next few days, also of the obverse... which is either pitted or metal dust or......... lol
I like it also because you can see it without a loupe: )

 

Poppa501, I can see why these would be your favorites!

 

I think I've seen this one posted many times. Sort of on that list of most frequently posted items.
With me the most valuable ones, the most prized ones, the most favorite ones are the ones I spend every day.
I NEED food, clothing, medicine, taxes, etc but coins? Those are something to collect for fun. Monitary items for spening are my favorites.

 

here are a few of mine



i know this one is used, but it's still a fave of mine

 

and two more faves






the 1908-S is a "woodie," but i can't quite get it to show in a pic.

 

Here's another of my favorites. It's quite difficult choosing a "most prized" coin, especially when there are so many that I consider prized for sentimental reasons. This Walker is the only one I currently have (which adds a bit to its appeal, honestly), and it is another coin that I received from my father. It's not in the best condition, but like many have pointed out, Walkers can be quite attractive even in the lower grades.

 

At the risk of sounding like a total noob, what exactly am I looking at here? I see where it looks kind of filled in around most of the letters in AMERICA. Is that what the error is? If so, what causes that. Thanks.

 

It looks like one of the other denomination clashes that they had on the flying eagle cents. is this the one where it's clashed with the obverse of the seated half???

 

:d

 

While I don't collect American coins, I value this one, which was a gift from a family member. (Any marks are from the plastic holder - the coin s perfect)

 

Very close. This is the clash from the Double Eagle obverse. Rick Snow has it as the S-7. The line you see going thru AMERICA is the profile of Miss Liberty.
1857 was a crazy year for clashed dies and it's a special part of the hobby for me.

 

I am most fond of this coin. It is the first error coin that I ever found in circulation. I found it roll searching in 1969 or 1970.

Please send a PM if you know of one for sale.
