I bought these raw through ebay. They are not expensive, so I think it is not worth the $ and time (wait for a month) to have them slabbed. I...
If you don't insist on major Mint errors like broadstrucks or off centers, you can find some minor but still attention-grabbing modern errors,...
Agree to your observation that off center errors are something of the past. I heard that the modern minting process since 2002 has eliminated most...
I think part of the coin design, such as characters, needs to be missing in order to be classified as "off centers". I am very interested in...
I heard that split before struck errors are much rarer than split after struck. Nice pick!
Thanks for sharing, @Pondering_Infinity. Really like your coin with both sides showing figure heads (due to brockage).
You have a very nice Roman Republic coin! Great preservation. I also purchased an NGC MS denarius recently. Coin has a special feeling with sharp...
Here is my recent Faustina I purchase. 3.63 g Denarius. Reverse Ceres standing. :) [ATTACH]
Your coin is nice and surely legit. On the other hand, I think NGC won't give a grade. Just labeled "Mint Error", as in @paddyman98 example. PCGS...
My second split-before-struck nickel is an 2012-P. 3.07 gram. Not as dramatic as my 1961-D. However, considering any major Mint error beyond 2001...
Nice coin, @JCro57. I have a tiny collection of 3 split-before-strike nickels. My 1961-D nickel weighs 2.7 grams. :happy: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Really feels like a Struck Through Mint Error. Nice find! :cat:
I think modern US coins with such clips, given they were made at the Mint, are classified as "Mint error coins". They actually worth more than the...
Thanks for sharing the coin picture with us, @Suarez. Such nice coin. Great flow lines. Congrats! I look forward to adding a Roman gold aureus in...
That is good info to know, Jay GT4. Hope the hoard has a mix of different time periods, not just Classical. I plan to get a nice transitional this...
Nice to see you in person, Ken. I was there on Saturday morning. Great coin show, and was pretty packed. Happy to be able to hold the coins in...
Even Julia Domna has eagle on coin reverse... I was always thinking eagle reverse is related to some sort of military campaigns. Maybe my original...
I got a similar one. Pretty like the eagle design, especially since it was struck during Tiberius time and under Rome mint. It is just a little...
@TypeCoin971793. Yes, I do own the archaic owl. Coin is complete. Just a huge cut... a tradeoff for a better price. Anyway, Athena's facial...
Ouch... My archaic friend got a big cut, while my other Early Transitional friend has scratches. o_Oo_O [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
