The very first coin i bought was a worn out 1850 large cent that looks like it was beat with a hammer. I paid $10 for it from another kid in high...
That brings up a point that really gets my goat. :mad: Some think you have to spend a certain amount of money to be called a "serious"...
That was you!? :D
I will do that for sure. I have the "Mint Errors" book by Herbert but It needs to be better illustrated IMO. Is there a better source of info?
Most cracked planchets I see are slabbed and go for a little more than this one. I just wanted an example and this one fit the bill.
Just won this auction w/out any other bidders. The coin does have a cracked planchet but whats going on to the right side of the obverse. The...
They can be had in bulk for less than 10 cents each. (They're about $1.00 each in retail stores). I bought a box of these and have been pretty...

Mint errors are so few and far between now that any small thing will cause a big stir. I decided in 1999 that I would build an error collection...
OMG, Gasp! :eek:
When doing this, take notice of the staples on the back of the 2x2, if metal from the staple is not completely flat against the cardboard, it will...
Not silly at all. Some coins will "rattle" around in the holes, particularly if you're using the album for highly circualted coins like Barber...
You definately did the right thing. Way too many dealers would have taken huge advantage of the guy by asking "what do you want for it" rather...
