What’s your favorite variety or error coin?

As a Morgan collector mainly, I'd probably go with the notorious 1888-O VAM 1B “Scarface” Morgan Dollar. The badass looking lady liberty results from a severely cracked die (the later stages of striking = more prominent effect).


Note: PCGS MS62 example from their site, not from my collection (I wish!).

I guess it's the recently discovered die error involving the 1922-S Saint-Gaudens that Roger Burdette found:

Thanks @spirityoda , rub it in why don't you .

The coin in the slab and the full image are not the same coin. I took the full image you are using.

 

I'm a big man of clashed die coins.

 

Found this in my change one day

 

This is probably my favorite.
Now THAT'S a cud.

 

I still own the 1878 VAM 44, not sure about the
"Donkey Tale".

 

Keeping it to what is in my collection,
ERROR a Canadian cent counter collar clash
VARIETY 1883 CC Morgan VAM 5 with bar under second 8 and die abrasion between the date and the denticles

 

Sorry. The 2nd and 3rd pics are not mine. But the slab coin is mine. I can not find the full image of my coin. ugh really sorry.

 

Not mine unfortunately. I do have a PCGS VG08 tho.

 

That is very cool.

 

I would suffer with a VG

 

Just looked that doubled date up on Ebay....yikes those higher grades get huge money.

 

That’s a beautiful DDO

 

Can’t believe I neglected to mention the “Broken CC Morgan”
