<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3217246, member: 19250&quot;]At a show last week I ran across these.....A very well done 1960 Denver Cent -&quot; Mint Errors&quot;! Set sort of.....By whom I haven&#039;t a clue , not the U.S. mint, in fact there&#039;s is no markings except as to what the image shows. </p><p>The materials are as follows....I have not opened any I picked up 3 but the outer paper is a faded lite mint green, the color I would expect a &quot;government agency&quot; to have on hand in their everyday office supplies.&nbsp; </p><p>under that peeking in from a side is the same sort of paper stock only heaver. again a faded coral color. I cannot see how the plastic widows are affixed but there are covers. the items has two sets of staples one 1950 /60&#039;ish blue steel staples 5 hits were used to hold the package together.&nbsp; however the 6 smaller at both 12 &amp; 6 K were added afterwards to hold the coins from spinning? &quot;Afterwards meaning years later as to size and composition of the smaller staples. </p><p>1960 Denver Cent &quot;Mint Errors&quot; </p><p>under each right to left reads #1 Filled S in States</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; #2 Joined EN in Cent</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; #3 Wart on O in One</p><p>Now if one isn&#039;t an older member here ,or one is not a Lincoln cent collector , one may not appreciate this item ......I do ....PCGS Library&nbsp; has a really nice write up explaining the huge impact &quot;Small Date &quot; cents made in collecting in the early 1960&#039;s! [ATTACH=full]836787[/ATTACH] </p><p>I do understand the image above&quot; is not an error&quot;. the coins were MS when placed in this holder and are turning nicely to a color one would expect from this sort of paper stock.[ATTACH=full]836789[/ATTACH] </p><p>Now I have seen other sites Aka Coins and Canada does list errors or varieties on their web site .These mostly consist of die chips and die breaks. </p><p>That for the most part aren&#039;t considered errors but possible a variety .</p><p>Most of the items listed Filled in S are very common found on coins.&nbsp; Joined letters again found a lot sometimes used as an pick up point on a variety. Lastly die chip or wart as so called here on this card. </p><p>I&#039;m not counting on hitting one out of the park with these but for their cost and their history well worth the money spent. they also fit perfectly in a fractional currency plastic bill holder.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]836790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]836792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]836793[/ATTACH] </p><p>To me the value here is the history behind this little set...who made it? Why did they go through so much trouble? And Actually the print job is very well done, as well as the materials used to make this little set up.</p><p>Has anyone ever seen these before? I do know roll searching this date was huge starting after May 1960.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
