100 Greatest U.S. Error Coins
Did anyone else read 100 Greatest U.S. Errors? We believe the 1906
Indian Head Cent struck on a Quarter Eagle planchet should have been #1. What did you think? For more info on the book, check out Coinzine! http://www.coinzine.net/2010/09/sacagawea-mule/ |

For more info on the book, check out Coinzine!http://www.coinzine.net/2010/09/sacagawea-mule/ The coin you reference wasn't an error. When someone intentionally does something like that (strikes a copper coin in gold), it is usually called a "piece de caprice". The 1913 "V" Nickels are an example of a "piece de caprice". BTW, the premise of the book you mention is a bit "iffy". The gamut of error coins is very large, and what turns people "on" can be hard to predict. And, probably, the very best error pieces are at least semi-hidden because of fear of confiscation. oly |
