[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3094648, member: 10461"]Sure. I have this 2001-P clad dime that was struck with a missing clad layer, meaning the obverse side with FDR's head got struck on what [I]should[/I] have been the innermost copper core. (Clad coins are like a "sandwich", with two outer layers of copper-nickel and an inner core of pure copper. It's like this one is an open-faced sandwich missing one of the pieces of bread, if you know what I mean.) There are of course many other error types, but I personally am not interested in small, subtle errors you need a lens to see.
