mint errors

NGC 1876 1 mark struck through a 20 pfennig planchet on its obverse. The planchet strike thru measures 16 mm. The error occurred when a 20 pfennig planchet was laying on top of this coin when it was struck, creating an indent. The 20 pfennig fell awa…

PCGS 2007-D Washington dollar with the reverse clad layer missing before strike. The coin is coppery colored on the reverse due to the outer manganese layer separated almost entirely, before strike.   A small sliver of the manganese remains arou…

PCGS 1971-X Kennedy half major off-center, struck 70% off-center at 10 o'clock.   A Major off-center Kennedy half, and scarce.    MS64

PCGS 1981-P Washington quarter double-denomination, struck over a 1981 Jefferson nickel. The coin has the designs of a quarter and a nickel on it, with traces of the nickel design visible (especially on the quarter's obverse near the rim.)   Qua…

NGC (1941-1945) Jefferson silver war nickel type-2 planchet, with laminations on the planchet. Silver war nickels are very common with laminations, which therefore makes laminations on an unstruck planchet understandable.  Silver war nickel...

PCGS 1943-S walking liberty half broadstruck. The coin expanded in size beyond its normal diameter, and shows a decent sized area of unstruck planchet in the 6 o'clock areas.  Broadstruck walking half dollars are very scarce.  XF45

PCGS 1907-O Barber half laminated planchet reverse. The coin has a deep lamination on its reverse. Lamiantions this large are verse scarce on Barber halves.  The lamination segment was likely snapped off after strike by a prior owner (very commo…

Struck through small threads on the obverse in the 4-5 o'clock area of the obverse. 

PCGS (1965-2022) clad quarter T-2 planchet with a missing clad layer. The coin is copper on one side due to a clad layer missing, and has a weight of 4.78 (which is appropriately the typical weight for a missing clad layer quarter.)  A very rare…

PCGS 2000-P Virginia quarter struck through a shifted die fill, with the numbers "00" and some of the lettering shifted.   Apparently, there was a large amount of debris-filled grease (or possible a very late stage die cap) which stuck to the di…

PCGS 1983-P Jefferson nickel with strong clashed dies and also counter clashed dies. The coin has strong clashed dies, but also there is a counter clash. The counter clash occurred when, after the normal die clash occurred, the dies clashed a 2nd tim…

PCGS 2020 shield cent with a major retained cud on the reverse. The cud is very large and covers over 25% of the coin. MS65 Red

NGC 1977-S proof Lincoln cent with strong clashed die obverse and to a lesser degree on the reverse. Clashed dies are scarce on proof cents.   PF67 Red

PCGS 194X Lincoln wheat cent elliptical clip, with a "football" shape to the coin. It has good eye-appeal. The coin weighs 2.2 grams. MS62 Brown with some darker toning on the reverse at 6 o'clock. Overall decent eye-appeal. 

PCGS 1947 wheat cent elliptical clip, with an oval shape and weighing 2.66 grams. A generally scarce error type on what cents. AU58

PCGS (1943) Lincoln steel cent split before strike and with a uniface obverse. The coin weighs only 1.42 grams, which is about half the normal weight. Also, the obverse side is uniface from having been struck with another planchet on top of it. …
