They aren&#039;t really worth much at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first one exhibits a classic &quot;grease filled die.&quot; Sometimes, junk can fall onto the die, and clogs up the little devices. There will be a blank spot on the coin where there should have been a number - like the missing 1. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second one exchibits a laminated planchet. Basically, when they were making the metal for the coin, it didn&#039;t get thoroughly mixed. There are some streaks from some of the alloy, which can cause flaking or streaks like you see. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both of these are common errors, and add no premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
