List of some Cent Errors?

You might check the local library for a copy of both Cherry Pickers Guides. If not half.com and Amazon might carry an older copy cheap.

You never know where you will find them. This one came from a $100 Mint bag.

Thank you! I've looked at tons of sites, but than I find other sites refuting the information I found in the previous site....To be honest...the answers and explanations from you guys have been the best

 

That came from a mint bag??? That's crazy!

 

I've looked on multiple sites referencing the Cherry Pickers guide. Looks like I'm getting a new guide this week. Thank you!

 

Error-Ref is as much Mike Diamond's baby as anyone else's, and you will see him getting pretty solid respect around here because it's reasonable to expect that anyone who disagrees with Mike Diamond is wrong. He's human, but much of the error information we toss around here was originally the result of his research.

Hasn't stopped me from disagreeing with him before, but I was probably wrong when I did.

 

Hahaha I like the humor!

 

Can anybody tell me about this coin (still getting the hang of these type pics) I see a D over another D for the mint mark, how does this occur

 

Crazy? Nope! It was 68c.

It used to be that the mintmarks were punched into the working dies by hand. Every once in a while, the placement of the punch wasn't all that good. Maybe the employee was still trying to work off his hangover. Who knows? Anyway, it might happen that the mistake was polished out, but sometimes it wasn't. Repositioning the punch would still allow some of the first strike to be seen.

This could be a Re-punched Mintmark (RPM) but I would need a better close-up. My eyes aren't all that good in my old age.
