I had the same reaction!
Perhaps sell the clarinet and give the wife the money...might make her rethink your investment!
I only bought 3 or 4 of these coins as I recall. I also purchased another handful off the auction board from other coin enthusiasts. These types...
2009 DDRs are amongst the more prevalent to find. Nice find!
Hard to say Islander - my LCS has always had a steady stream of error/variety coins, but not by the coffee can full. This came in about a year...
The coins above came from a lady that worked at the bank. She opened a bag and saw a ton of error coins and proceeded to sort them out by hand....
[ATTACH] $2-3. A 50/50 off center seems to attract the most attention in my experience. Bidding could run up to around $5 based on condition and...
I think that in order for something to be a variety it has to be a variant of an intended design attribute. Arbitrary anomalies, while perhaps...
Raw as far as I know Chris. The coins I’ve purchased have been in flips and cherrypicked so the seller either didn’t know or care. So I paid the...
Chris was wondering if it be worth his while to search his 5 rolls of UNC 1973Ds. If he finds one of the 14 or so Varieties for the date he may...
The Variety Factor. Regular MS cent $.30. Add the factor: $15. I’ve never sold any of my Variety coins so I can’t say that the Coppercoins...

Was it part of the intended design? Or a processing error?
Check you 1950 Canada; is that a clash by the head of the beaver (from the leaf down in front of the face of the beaver)?
It may be a thin planchet error, but it doesn't look like a missing clad error to me. I only have a quarter specimen to compare to, but my...
James - something to keep in mind when taking pictures. Provide a picture of the Obverse and Reverse of your specimen. It doesn't matter if what...
Thanks for the link Mark. I recall seeing it now. It appears that for 1987, two mint mark styles were used.
This cent is not the VV specimen in the link above. I seem to remember something about the wrong MM for the year (say, 1962/1963) but I don't...
Separate names with a comma.
