Hello,

A die crack on a very nice Italian 5 centesimo 1918. At 5h on reverse:

It's on my swap list :)

These are just 5 out of the many error coins I have. The first one is of a 1910 Australian threepence with a die crack across the date. The second one is of an Australian 50 cent coin with a cud error under the Queens nose. The third one is of an Australian 1964 penny with a large die crack. The forth one is of an Australian 1949 penny with a large lamination peal on its reverse and a smaller on on its obverse. The fifth one is of a 20 cent coin from 2014 with the 'wave gap variety' the end of the wave is supposed to touch the head of the platypus.

As I work in a bank I'm constantly searching the coins of the cash guys, today I found this 1 Real off center, I do not collect error coins, but there are a large numbers of collectors around.

We call that here "Boné" (cap).

Sorry about the poor picture but it was dark when I got home and my lights are terrible for photo's.
I got this 2014 50p coin today, smashed FIFTY.
I can only think that the hammer die had some big chunks of cud on it which basically destroyed the lettering during the strike and the area around the FIFTY.

There is ( machine ? ) doubling to the word PENCE and an overall weak strike. The obverse has a weak strike on the date.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.

Few from Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth coins (szelągi):


1. error in date - not 1665 but 16 665



2. Half revers in obverse, and half obverse in reverse



3. Double "bird" under horseman



4. Double reverse, and double obverse



5. This one could be from "private" mint - in date 6 conected with 4 / and wrong letter in CAS.REX --> COA.REX

I don't know whether this qualifies as an error coin.

@Donkey, that's just a weak strike. It happens when a die is worn out and then you get less details on the struck coin.

That's indeed a strange error, never seen one like this before. But it's kinda neat though, I should keep it if I were you!

​If it was struck on the wrong planchet, then some of the details would probably be missing, which is not the case. But you're close.

Is this a coin with die crack or just a scratched coin?
ūūūūū
If it is raised up (see my UK example below) it is a die crack;
if it goes in to the coin it is a scratch.

Yes, coins with small additional details qualify as error coins.

But I see nothing unusual on the top right coin.

Interestingly enough, some time ago I got an Austrian eurocent with the same additional detail (see my post above in this thread, 23-Nov-2015)

Found another, CWT this time.
Citation: "Dr4gonkiller96"​this is one of the first minted 1966 Australian 10 cent coins from Canberra (not London) and im confused if the Milled edges are just gone or were never added as its the same as a normal 10 cent coin with diameter and thickness. (note its also the exact same all around so if i turn it, it would be identical). need help on this one.

​this next coin is fairly new 2005 $1 Australian Coin but is slightly mistruck at opposite sides of the obverse and reverse sides of the coin.
​The missing milled edge on the 10 cent coin is not an error but caused by wear to the coin. It's quite common to find the older coins like this.

The slight missalingment on your 1 dollar coin is too small and common to be considered an error. Personally I do call it an error but the majority Australian coin collectors will disagree.

Hi guys, how about this one (1 Piso 2013-Philippines). Your opinion&observation are most welcome. Thanks.
I haven't been a coin collector for long (about 10 months now), and I can't fully understand why anyone would want to own a flawed coin. I collect for the beauty of the coins and fail to see any good reason to add an eyesore to a collection of otherwise beautiful coins.
Error coins, in my view, are not just coins that have die or metal faults, that make them different from the normal issues.
Other errors also exist.
My favourite coin, which I own, is Isle of Man 50pence KM#57a. The error is where obverse and reverse dies from two different coins have come together to form another coin.
On this particular coin, is does not state that it is from the IOM, due to this die error.
I have never come across another coin of this KM#
I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.

​I collect error coins for a number of reasons. It costs me nothing to sit around and look for errors. And pocket change is all I need to do it. And, all and all, they are rare. In some mints, errors are common, I avoid them.
Some of the U.S. error coins can have substantial value. A Wi. state quarter with 3 leaves on the cornstalk can fetch up to $100.00. I got a 1942 D/S mintmark error quarter in a silver lot. And a DDO (Double Die Obverse)Buffalo nickel in a coin roll.
That is how I got hooked on error coins.
Countries that have the best minting processes are the coin errors I look for.
Error coins to me, are a great way to mess around with coins, without spending money or waiting on the mail.

​Hi, I recently noticed 1 British penny in 2013 the left side of the reverse is not covered with copper coating. Is the coin rare?
As you can see on the right, there was a flake of metal from the planchette there’s even a folded piece underneath the three that got mashed back into the coin. What’s this type of error called? The coin and was struck after this was in the planchette. Please give me an idea of the value, I would like to swap it for something else, I don’t collect error coins. Thanks!
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins
I have a lot of these. Probably extremely usual. One even has metal in all the 9s! Also, I have a 1 penni 1974 (Finland) missing the reverse side of the coin. Also another darker coloured 1 penni that is about 1mm larger than the others, can't remember which year. Also some other euro coins with small errors and a broken German 1 euro coin that I accidentally just broke. But the last one is not an error, probably just a damaged coin.

Can someone tell me the type of error my coin above has and is it worth anything? Thanks

​Lamination - a flaw whereby a fragment of metal has peeled off the coin's surface. This defect occurs when a foreign substance, such as gas oxides or dirt, becomes trapped in the strip as it is rolled out to the proper thickness. Lamination flaws may be missing or still attached to the coin's surface.

I believe that it is really hard to place a "value" on irregularities. It really all depends on what the collector is willing to pay for it. Someone may be willing to pay through the nose for "uniqueness". Then again some may find the imperfection less than desirable.
A lot of it has to do with how interesting the lamination is. Many people collect these.
Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can't are both right.

Can anyone tell me if this a double die? It is a 1999 D Connecticut Quarter. If you zoom onto the nose it appears to be doubled if not tripled. There is also an imprint to the right of LIBERTY. I am very new to collecting but believe I have found a true error. Any reply would be appreciated.
I don't specifically collect error coins, but sometimes I spot an interesting detail (usually a long time after I first buy the coin) and I don't believe I've ever posted here before, so here goes:


1899 Bolivia 50 Centimos; Die crack on the eagle that starts in the end of the word "REPUBLICA", then progresses across eagle's breast and into the beginning of "BOLIVIANA". (pointed out to me by Jasanche :`)


1889 Brazil 2000 Réis - Pedro II; serious flaw between the first and second "0"s of "2000 REIS". (My entry in MPCC South America, which was narrowly beaten in the quarterfinals)

I've also a few more rotation/orientation errors and offstruck coins, but nothing in there extreme enough to be worth posting.
i have found a 2010 20 cent coin that appears to have three extra set of claws,,,Im new to collecting so unsure about this coin ,,,,but i will post pictures and maybe someone knows something......there is an extra set next to normal ones ,,then a set further along and a set in water swirl above beak,,,,any ideas?even looks like there is a set on the right of the beak near bottom of pic 3 looks more like an octopus than platypus,,,
