    Yes, perfect example. That dime/nail "error". I'm saying on way! That had to have be intentionally made. Plus, how did it got out?

    A collection is "a group of interesting or beautiful objects brought together in order to show or study them or as a hobby." Merriam-Webster

    I see a "group," two or more error coins in your collection, which you have showed to us here on CoinTalk, so, yes, you have become an error coin collector.

    The 1961-D cents are very nice error coins.

    Great coins. Would the double struck 1961-D be a "two cent" piece? It says it twice on the back!

    Very nice pieces. 1935 is a great color. Goes to show that sometimes RD is not always the best than a beauty RB

    Hey that's a good name for it "Peekaboo Lincoln" :D
    Considering I already named one of these the headbutting Lincoln, it's fitting to name the other one too.

    It wasn't planned, it just turned out to be the ones that I have accumulated.
    As I was scrolling through auctions, some errors caught my eye. There were others that I liked but didn't win. I liked a few of the errors where the coin was struck on the wrong planchet. One was the following from a recent GTG thread. It was more than a bit out of my price range, but I can see picking up a nickel on cent (which will be way more affordable).

    Usually I've noticed with errors that the more unique/uncommon, the more valuable.
    The NGC graded 1961-D Double Struck is the one that cost me the most.

    Maybe I should take it to the store and see if they'll accept it as two cents? :p

    I completely agree. There are tons of eye appealing RB and BN coins out there.

    Off centers are cool, but more common. Double struck coins are way rarer and cost way more.

    If you want a very generic price guide for errors, check the latest issue of Mint Error News. Naturally there are lots of refinements - an off-center showing the date is worth more than a generic off-center not showing the date. But it gives a rough idea.
