[QUOTE="cti4sw, post: 928349, member: 26244"][b]Errors[/b] There are a few... Delaware - "Spitting Horse" (die crack emanating from horse's mouth) Pennsylvania - rotation error Georgia - letters on reverse are filled in Connecticut - die cracks New Hampshire - letters on reverse are filled in South Carolina - grease errors on reverse California - "moon" (round die crack over mountain) Also, supposedly there are more Ohio-Ds than Ohio-Ps because the Philadelphia mint was "shut down" for a period of time during Ohio's minting. Not sure how true this is. There are also linear die cracks to be found on all of them, I'm sure, as well as the grease fill-ins and letter cracks. Any new design will show errors as the mint's engravers work to improve the design against these flaws. True errors are double-stamps (called "doubled die"), laminations (layers of metal peel off due to air pockets in the alloy), waffles (mint cancellations), and other non-design flaws.
