<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4226650, member: 66"]Not so much errors but varieties, which back then were lumped together with errors, early to mid 1960's. That was when the 1938 D/S nickels was discovered (the first known overmintmark), several other overmintmarks were discovered or became common knowledge around then, the 55 DDO cent began gaining in popularity. The 60 small dates, the 70 S small dates. Then there was the 69 S DDO, the 42/1 D dime was discovered, and then the 72 DDO was discovered and things really started going. Before the 1960's most collectors and dealers considered error coins to be "defective" and undesirable. Often they were just thrown away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
