[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1098714, member: 6229"][B][U][COLOR=red]Coin ERRORS you may not know Exist Chapter 2[/COLOR][/U][/B] Whether or not you collect error coins, you know what some of them are: Missing mint mark like the 1922 no D (Denver mint mark) Cent and the proof 1971 no S (San Francisco mint mark) Cent Double Die like the 1955 or 1969-S Double Die Cents Missing parts like the 1937-D (Denver mint mark) 3-legged Buffalo Nickel Then there are the blanks (2-side or one side), broadstrikes, brockages, clipped planchettes, cuds, laminations, mules, multiple strikes, off center strikes, and wrong planchets. If you own any coin guide, catalog or subscribe to a coin publication, you've seen photos of these errors.
