<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1169792, member: 19423&quot;]I don&#039;t have many error coins, but I did get this one recently that I thought was interesting:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/yosemite.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin is a 2010 Yosemite 5oz. silver coin which has a 1/4&quot; to 1/3&quot; strikethrough error right in the middle of the mountain on the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen plenty of strikethroughs on smaller sized coins, but with this coin it is the first time I&#039;ve received a coin that not only has a strikethrough, but also has the item which found it&#039;s way between the planchet and the die.&nbsp; Just to the left of the srtikethrough in the photo is a small piece of hard plastic or maybe rubber that caused the error.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suspect on smaller sized coins the foreign material or object typically gets separated from the error coin as the coin is rolled or bagged.&nbsp; But with these big bullion coins, the object was retained on the coin.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I received the coin I though it was just debris on the surface and was pretty surprised when I moved it over a bit and saw that big strikethrough.&nbsp; Have no clue if this sort of error is collectible or whether it adds any value, but I did think it was interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
