Error Coins
- What are error coins and how are they made?
Error coins are mistakes made during the minting process, such as off-center strikes or wrong planchets. They're created when something goes wrong in production, and they can be valuable to collectors. - How can I tell if a coin is an error?
Look for features that couldn't happen during normal striking, like off-center designs or missing elements. Compare with known examples and use a magnifier to check for raised or incuse anomalies.
