    Let's see those wrong mint, wrong metal, wrong coin, wrong denomination, etc! Let's do our best to avoid "wrong grade" unless it's clearly a PO1 coin and it somehow got MS64 or something.

    Here's mine, sorry for the low resolution, the coin is currently in a different country than I am. This one is actually a Philly mint and the dealer I bought it from didn't notice it until after he bought it and had to sell it to me for a loss. I owe photos of the reverse when I'm back in the US.

    Error lables are fascinating!
    This Type 1 $1.00 Eisenhower is a plain Cupro-Nickel Clad but by mistake the letter S was added before $1 which means Silver.
    It is not a .400 Silver Planchet..

    Darn.... I don't have a photo at work. I do have a slab three cent nickel labeled by NGC as a three cent silver. NGC even shows the value on their certification page as the value of a three cent silver. I'll add a photo tonight.

    Here’s an error on an error slab. It says 1/2 Duit, but Utrecht never minted a 1/2 Duit. This is a 1 Duit.

    Nice! Out of curiosity, is there much of a value difference between th two years?

    This one is not a proof. Too late to have it fixed.

    I do believe it is a triple clipped coin . . . I think I see the less obvious 3rd clip near the final T in TRUST.

    $1 error Dime is really cool. Not only the Mint makes mistakes, NGC also. Double error?? :cat:

    I am not into collecting error label, but once a while do encounter an example. Here is one in my collection. Off center percentage is quite incorrect. :cat:

    Forgive my ignorance, but I thought it meant the second strike is 35% off the center of the first coin, which seems accurate to me. Am I reading that wrong?

    Appreciate your comments, @Seattlite86. The second strike should be about 65% off center instead of 35%. If it is 35% O/C, the 2nd strike would cover the peach design in the middle. I sometimes used @paddyman98 90% O/C coin as comparison. Higher % O/C equals strike further away. Just my thoughts.

    Here is the obverse side of coin. May help to illustrate more.
