Message:: [QUOTE="Steel Scent, post: 25591555, member: 160624"]I have been collecting the error coins for about 5 years. I enjoy them most of all but I do have other coins and some currency and a few confederate notes also.  Most of my error coins are pretty common varieties, Double dies, broad strikes, and defective planchets. The ones most everybody acquires over the years.     I do have several however that are kind of a mystery as to what they are and how they came about. If it's okay, I would like to post a few pictures over the coming weeks and gather some opinions from people who has a lot more experience than I do.  My first coin is a 1943 steel cent that is covered with, for lack of a better word corrosion. Maybe more like oxidation.  Its hard to get an accurate picture of how beautiful and sparkly it is with an ordinary camera and a magnifying glass. It's the only one I've ever seen. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
