[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1000605, member: 16269"]You pretty well got it. Except that I would add doubled dies (different from machine/mechanical doubling) to the higher dollar ones and some of the cuds get not bad money. Clipped planchets, multiple strikes, off centers', some extreme laminations, broadstrikes and brockages are also collectible errors. Also be on the lookout for coins struck on the wrong planchets. There is a list in the Red Book of errors to watch for. As for die chips, die cracks, struck through grease (unless extreme), they are the result from usual coin production and are common. Die cracks that create interesting flaws in the design or die shattering sometimes add value to the coin. This site is a good one to see up-to-date error finds: [URL]http://minterrornews.com/priceguide.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
