[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1104350, member: 6229"][B][U][COLOR=red]An ERROR coin you may not know exists...[/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. The first time, in this subject matter, we covered the [B]errors[/B] that exist on Spanish Milled Dollars that were struck during the time they were considered [B][I]Legal Tender Status[/I][/B] in early America. On our second excursion we focused or attention on an error coin issued by our neighbor to the North, Canada. On our third tour you saw that even the Euro Zone mints aren't immune to producing [B]error[/B] coins. We found an Euro Cent that [B]error[/B] was minted somewhere between 1989 and 2010, but you won't be able to discern when it was minted nor which Euro country authorized it. This episode uncovers an [B]error[/B] coin that was minted by the Italian Mint in Rome which survived the [B][I]error inspectors[/I][/B] and made its way into circulation. First allow me to show you a photo (courtesy of AVS Coins) of a 1924 Lira free of [B]errors[/B] [URL="http://www.avscoins.com/showcoin.php?cat=Italy&id=IT-38"][B]ITALY 1924-R LIRA - NON ERROR[/B][/URL] Here's the Lira that eluded the Rome Mint's quality control employees (courtesy of Coin Archives): [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=882091&AucID=652&Lot=21441&Val=4dccebea309f4dc82ec6a0c428d66781"][B]ITALY 1924-R LIRA - 2 MINT ERRORS[/B][/URL] Hope you enjoyed this trivia.
