hey everybody how's it going this is for all those lovers of EXO Noumea, varities ,die rarity,oddities, double dies and such... For all you cherry pickers this is indeed a good one. I want to create a typeset of all the double dies ,off centered, off center die varieties, an such .. What do you think this set should contain? Has any one ever thought of creating a error type set.??? Are there any lists pre made that you feel can help me build a typeset like this??
1955, 1972 DDO's cents, Doubled ear date cent ?, nickel doubled eye date ? if I had that kind of money I would start with these.
Some collectors display off-centers as a clock. If you don't have the Plaid Book, you really should get it. The early nickname for errors was F.I.D.Os-freaks, irregulars, defects, oddities.
I think you may want to add wrong planchet in there like nickel on cent, quarter on nickel or cent etc.
There are so many errors, it would be hard to decide how to shape this. Here is a small list of different errors a coin may have courtesy of coinfacts.com: Broadstrikes Off-Center Struck Coins Double and Multiple Struck Coins Mated Pairs Brockages Capped Dies Counterbrockage Indents Wrong Metal/Wrong Planchet Errors Bonded Coins Spectacular Errors Mules Die Adjustment Strike Proof Errors Transitional Errors Double Denomination Errors Struck Fragments Fold-over StrikesErrors on Proof Planchets Dual Type
I like off metal planchette coins but I personally want the metal to be different. I am not fond of quarter on nickel. It has to look wrong for me to appreciate planchette errors
I like the spectacular errors and wrong metal planchets too as well as a good healthy off center strike this the only one I got as I collect pre 1900 coins as a rule
I used to buy and then sell my coins. There is at least one person I know of on this board who bought a coin at a show from me. However I don't need the money and I started to regret and miss those coins so I don't sell anymore I only buy . If you search ebay for (pcgs,ngc) planchet you will see many for sale. Just be careful around half are overpriced if you want to pm me or post here with ebay cost questions I'll be happy to respond
The problem with that is - most errors are unique by their very nature... I have trouble keeping up with just pursuing major errors from a single denomination... http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/showcase.aspx?sc=1855
