NGC 1976-x Washington quarter off-metal struck on a cent planchet. The coin is struck on the copper-alloy planchet of a Lincoln cent, but has the design of a quarter. It is also the weight of a cent at 3.08 grams, and is missing some of the design du…

NGC seated quarter struck 20% off-center. The coin shows a large amount of planchet, giving it nice eye-appeal as an off-center. Although the date is almost completely missing, it appears to be an "8" as the last digit on the date.  Seated liber…

PCGS (1959-1982) Lincoln cent struck on a small 0.63 gram fragment of cent planchet. The fragment is rough and an oval shape. Nice eye-appeal.   Note: The coin is "reverse side up" in the PCGS holder.  MS62 Brown 

PCGS 1978 Ike dollar Struck 20% off-center. A major off-center Ike dollar, and and affordable example. Ike dollars are scarce more than 15% off-center.   MS62 with counting wheel marks keeping the coin from a higher grade.   

PCGS 1965 Lincoln cent with 12% double curved clips. The clips are opposite each other and resemble a bowtie clip--this is a "poorman's bowtie", as it is much less expensive than a conventional "bowtie."    MS64 Red

PCGS cent planchet split. The planchet split in half, and was never struck. Scarce. 1.68 Grams.   Generally scarce as an unstruck split planchet.    AU55

NGC 1984-P Jefferson nickel double-struck 70% off-center on dime planchet. The coin is struck on the much smaller clad planchet of a dime, and weighs 2.3 grams, and as a result, some of the outer design details are missing on the coin...

NGC 1958 Lincoln wheat cent overstruck on a 1958 1 centavo. The coin shows the designs of both the 1958 wheat cent and the 1958 1 centavo, with traces of the 1c design visible under the cent's design.    The error occurred when a 1958 1c wa…

PCGS James Madison dollar obverse manganese layer missing before strike. The coin is copper colored on its obverse due to the outer manganese clad layer missing before strike. Scarce.   MS64 lustrous and attractive. 

NGC 1974 Kennedy half with a large 25% indent on the obverse. Indents are very scarce this large on Kennedy halves. A beautiful example with good eye-appeal!   MS64 lustrous white 

PCGS Lincoln wheat cent with an off-center brockage die cap strike. The brockage was made by a die cap that was formed from an off-center coin or which was simply a major, shifted die cap. Either way, neat and rare. AU55 Brown

PCGS 1967 Kennedy half obverse clad layer missing. The coin is missing the outer layer, and weighs only 9.51 grams.   AU58

Scarce date 1953 nickel broadstruck.  

PCGS 1943-X steel cent late stage die cap strike, with the coin having much of the obverse design missing. There is a somewhat faint brockage of some of the words"CENT" and "UNITED STATES" on the obverse.  The error occurred when a die cap forme…

NGC "D" Mint Franklin half dollar split planchet after strike. The coin shows the "split side" on the obverse. Because the coin split in half, it weighs only 6.2 grams.    A dramatic and rare error type on Franklin halves, and few split aft…

NGC 1970-D Washington quarter struck on a Philippine 25 sentimos blank. The coin weighs 4.1 grams, which is correct for a Philippine 25S. Also, the coin is slightly gold-colored, and is a smaller diameter than normal.    A scarce off-metal,…

NGC 1984-D Jefferson nickel elliptical clip, and with a weight of 4.3 grams. The coin is an oval shape. MS63

NGC Liberty nickel struck 40% off-center. A major off-center for a liberty nickel, and few are known struck this far off-center and also in this high of a grade. They are tough to find for sale.    NGC AU58 with luster present and just a hi…

PCGS 1978-S proof Washington quarter with strong clashed dies obverse and reverse. The clash marks are strong and easy to see.   On the obverse portions of the eagle's wings and design can be seen. On the reverse, portions of Washington's head, …
