Fred Weinberg and Mike Byers are both top notch, well known, honest dealers specializing in error coins. Both have fair prices, but they are not "cheap".

To buy genuine errors at "low" prices requires extensive knowledge of errors, and lots of show and internet shopping to find the ones whose owners don't know the value of what they have.

Error shopping is a great example of why you should always "buy the book before the coin".

 

What kind of errors are you looking for? You can get some nice ones cheap on eBay, like blank planchets, clips, CUDs, but these are outnumbered by auctions of "errors" that are not worthwhile, so you have to be careful.

Do you have a "Red Book"? There are some of the major errors listed in there, in the "Misstrikes and Errors" section.

 

thanks, i will check them out.:hail:

 

i have probably thousands of mistruck coins ranging from off centered strikes to wrong faces on certain sized coins. where can i go to get a value appraisal?

 

there is a book called (i think) Blackbook to Mint errors. something like that. check it out, might help.:smile

 

You can also check coins in circulation, and do some roll searching also to find some errors at face value. Best of luck! :thumb:

I purchased a error peace dollar from Fred, very good transaction. I'd recommend Fred. Maybe I should take a photo and post my error coin?

 

Yes you should........

 

Oh yeah, I would also reccommend Rich Schemmer for your error needs. Very cool man with some very cool errors.

know any good books on coin errors??

 

do you know of places to get error bills?

 

Look on ebay. The only thing I can say about Errors coins if some times they you are better off buying them slabbed. As there seems to be a lot of people making coins look like error coins.

As for books. There is a book named Price guide to Mint Error's writen by Alan Herbert. Although the price guide part is way off if you ask me. Most the info in the book is right on.

I have my eye on a 1964 Jefferson error Nickel right now myself. I too like my error coins. The more screwed up the better. lol

 

agreed, great stuff and fair.
Also (a rarity) honest.

thx for all the help

 

Try local coin dealers if you have one near. e-bay and internet dealers can be at times non trustworthy, you can hold the coin in your hand.
