It is always a pleasure to visit Fred Weinberg

A unique Canadian Maple Leaf error is certified by NGC.

I nterestingly, besides being much

lighter than normal, at 25.1g
instead of the correct 31.1g, this
piece is also much smaller than
normal. Its planchet is nearly 2mm
smaller in diameter than those used
for silver Maple Leaf bullion coins.

This important error was submitted

to NGC by Harlan J. Berk, Ltd.
Although the coin’s owner has only
0.8 ounces of silver instead of the
one ounce stated on the coin, they
probably are not disappointed. The
value of this unique mint error
undoubtedly exceeds the bullion
value of this coin by many, many
multiples.

World Paper Money Errors
World Paper Money Errors Explored!

Odd shapes, upside down prints, intriguing cuts and

folds, and missing design elements are only a few of
the different printing errors examined in this expansive
collection on foreign error notes. World Paper Money
Errors is a visually compelling avenue into the
fascinating and rarely explored area of numismatics
that expands on the hobby of collecting paper currency.

Author Morland Fischer’s comprehensive collection

reflects the attraction and advantages of exploring
foreign printing errors. An overview of collecting
paper money errors in today’s numismatic market
offers insights on the great disparity between domestic
and world notes. Market values are discussed,
acknowledging what variables make an error note
precious in the trade. Incorporating these concepts
and more, Fischer expands the method of collecting
currency errors by introducing a Foreign Error Note
(FEN) scale to gauge price levels based on error type.

With over 200 examples of dramatic, colorful and

intriguing foreign paper money errors, collectors and
spectators alike are exposed to a new form of collecting
currency. The numismatic community will benefit
from this thorough guide that is unlike any other on
the market.

Mint Error News Price Guide
- Updated April 2017 -
This price guide is brought to you by Mint Error News. It has been compiled by
many of the top major mint error dealers.
This price guide is a guide. Prices fluctuate due to the date, grade, eye appeal and how
dramatic the striking error is. Rarity is also a factor. The price is sometimes based on
the rarity and grade of the type of coin as well as how rare the error is. The price can
also vary depending on whether two collectors are bidding for the same rare major
mint error. When purchasing a mint error, it is important to use multiple resources to
determine value, as there are many mint errors that do not fit into one category.

Proof Errors (Updated April 2017)

P roof coins are struck by technicians who hand
feed the blanks into special presses. They are
produced, examined, and packaged using extreme
quality control. It is very unusual to find major
proof errors. A few broadstrikes, off-centers,
double strikes in collars and off-metals have been
known to be found in sealed proof sets. Proof
errors are aggressively sought after by many error
collectors.

A very small group of Proof errors recently came

from a collection that was auctioned by the State of
California. The U.S. Secret Service inspected and
released this collection to the State of California
determining that it was legal to own. The State of
California then auctioned the collection and it has
been dispersed since the sale.

Broadstrikes (Updated April 2017)

A broadstruck error occurs when a coin is

struck without the collar to form the rim and
edge that is part of the shape of the coin. Coins
can be broadstruck on either type one or type two
planchets. When a coin is broadstruck the blank
being fed into the collar will spread and distort
outward as it is being struck because the collar
isn’t in the correct position to retain it.

Partial Collars (Updated April 2017)
P artial collar strikes occur when there is a malfunction
of the striking press. This causes the collar to be in
an incorrect position. The lower die (usually the reverse
die) is recessed in the collar. This allows the coin which
is going to be struck to have a formed rim. After a coin
is struck the lower die raises upwards, pushing the struck
coin out of the collar and ejecting it. If a blank entering
the collar is not properly seated, it will only have partial
reeding as it is struck. The edge of this coin will have a
partial reeding and a partial blank surface area. Recently,
the Mint has installed new machinery where either die can
be installed in either position.

Uniface Strikes (Updated April 2017)
U niface coins occur when there have been two
blank planchets in the press at the same time.
The other blank will obstruct the die on either
the obverse or reverse side, which will prevent it
from having that design on the coin. There are
many different variations involving uniface errors.
In addition to having a 100% blank obverse or
reverse, a coin can be struck off-center, with a
blank planchet in the collar which will obstruct
one side of the off-center. There are also mated
pairs which have a combination of multiple errors
which can include a side which is uniface. Finally,
there are uniface strikes due to a die cap which
adhered to the die, forming itself in the shape of a
die and striking blank planchets.

Bonded Coins
(Updated April 2017)

B onded coins occur when the feeder

system, which supplies blank planchets
to the coin press, malfunctions and jams.
When this occurs, a struck coin is not
properly ejected and another planchet is fed
into the collar and is struck. This struck coin
will land on top of the previously unejected
strike. These coins will then crush and bond
together. This may occur many times as more
coins bond.

Struck Fragments
(Updated April 2017)

T he blanking press takes the coils of

metal strips and punches blanks out of
it, ejecting the webbing at the other end. The
webbing is cut into small scrap pieces to be
melted and recycled. Occasionally a scrap
piece will be mixed with the blank planchets
and struck by the dies. Struck fragments are
rare in the larger denominations. These can
be uniface or die struck both sides and are
very rare on type coins.

Mated Pairs (Updated April 2017)
M ated pairs involve two individual coins with different
errors that were struck together at the same time. Mated
pair error combinations can be found in most error types and
come in many shapes and sizes. Mated pairs can be overlapped
when one of the coins is struck off-center on top of another
coin. Another type involves a brockage where a struck coin
was perfectly centered on a blank and restruck. Some mated
pairs involve a die cap where the cap and brockage coin are
discovered together, but this is a scarce find.

The rarest mated pair type involves two die caps (obverse and
reverse) where both dies were capped at the same time and both
die caps are mated. This last type is extremely rare and there
are only a few known examples of mated pairs involving an
obverse die cap and reverse die cap. There are several of these mated pairs known on Kennedy Halves
including two dated 1976, which is the Bicentennial year. One of the most spectacular mated pairs involve
two Barber Dimes, an obverse die cap mated to a reverse die cap and are unique.

Mated pairs can also involve an off-metal where a smaller blank planchet or smaller struck coin was struck
on top of a larger coin. This type is extremely rare. The most spectacular pair known is a double struck
Franklin Half which was mated to a Lincoln Cent. The Lincoln Cent blank was on top of the obverse of the
struck Franklin Half. This pair was then struck together. It is unique.

Transitional Errors (Updated April 2017)
A transitional error occurs when a coin is
struck on a planchet from a previous year
with different metal composition. The most
famous transitional is a 1943 copper cent struck
on a 1942 copper blank. 1943 cents were struck in
steel because of the copper shortage during World
War II. Other famous transitionals include 1965
coinage struck in silver instead of clad.

There are also transitionals struck on blanks for

the next year. An example is 1964 coinage in clad
instead of silver. Most recently, transitionals were
discovered involving the SBA and Sacagawea
Dollars of 1999 and 2000. There are eight known
1999 SBA Dollars struck on the brass planchet for
the 2000 Sacagawea Dollar, and four known 2000
Sacagawea Dollars struck on a clad planchet for
the 1999 SBA Dollar.

U.S. Gold Errors (Updated April 2017)

M ajor mint errors on U.S. Gold coins are the

most prized category of all mint errors.
Gold errors are very rare and a few have traded in
the $75,000 to $100,000 range. Even a broadstruck
U.S. Gold coin can easily sell for $15,000 to
$30,000 compared to a broadstruck Cent, Nickel,
Dime or Quarter which all sell for well under $10.
Many serious collectors of Gold Errors have to
wait patiently for months and sometimes even
years to acquire that one special piece for their
collection.

The prices listed here are for common dates in

AU-Unc. Better dates and errors that are in gem
condition are worth considerably more.

Indents (Updated April 2017)

A n indent error occurs when two blanks are

fed inadvertently into the same collar, with
one blank partly overlaying on top of the other.
When the hammer die strikes this combination,
the upper blank will be forced into the lower
blank, creating a depression which is shaped
similar to the upper blank. A scarce type of
indent occurs when a blank intended for one
denomination lands on top of a blank from a
different denomination.

Die Caps (Updated April 2017)
D ie caps are caused when a struck coin sticks
to the upper hammer die. Once the coin is
struck to the die face, the reverse of the struck
coin becomes the new die face. When the next
blank is fed into the collar and the strike occurs,
the reverse design of the adhered struck coin im-
presses itself into the new blank. This struck coin
is a brockage strike. The coin that adhered to the
upper die is known as a die cap. This process re-
peats itself as more coins are struck by the cap.
The greater the number of strikes, the higher the
cap metal will be pushed around the upper die
shaft. Eventually, the cap brakes away from the
die in the shape of a thimble.

Double Denominations (Updated April 2017)
O ne of the most expensive, popular, and
desired types of errors are the double
denominations. This error happens when a
coin is struck on a previously struck coin of a

Brockages (Updated April 2017)
A brockage error can only occur when there
are two coins involved. One of the coins
involved will always be a struck coin which has
not ejected properly. That struck coin will find
its way back between the dies and will be struck
next to a blank planchet which was fed into the
collar. The image of that first struck coin will be
impressed into that side of the blank planchet. The
result will be a second coin which has images of
the first coin impressed into it. Those images will
be pressed into the coin and the image will be in
reverse. This incuse sunken image is known as a
brockage.

Double & Multiple Strikes (Updated April 2017)

W hen a blank planchet is struck by the

dies, the normal procedure is for the
feeders to eject the struck coin out of the collar
and into a chute. If there is a malfunction and
the struck coin isn’t ejected, it may receive a
second or third strike by the dies. A multiple
struck coin can happen in many ways and
have many combinations of errors.

(Since each double and multiple strike can vary from being 10% off-
center to 90% off-center, the prices listed below can be substantially
more based on the percent off-center and dramatic overall look.)

Off-Center Strikes (Updated April 2017)

O ff-center coins are one of the most

common and best known types of
errors. This happens when a blank which is
supposed to be fed into the press, lands in the
collar improperly. When this occurs only part
of the blank is between the upper and lower
dies. When the dies strike the blank, only that
part will be struck with a design.

Off-Metals
(Updated April 2017)

O ff-metal and wrong planchet errors occur when a correctly made

blank from one denomination is accidentally fed into a press for
another denomination. Examples are a nickel struck on a cent planchet
and a cent struck on a dime planchet. The coin struck on an incorrect
blank will weigh exactly what the denomination of that blank would
have been. An even more dramatic wrong planchet error is a coin struck
on a previously struck coin of a different metal.

Counterbrockages
(Updated April 2017)

A counterbrockage error involves a cap

die and a previously struck coin. When
a cap die strikes a previously struck coin, the
obverse design from that struck coin will be
impressed into the cap. The result will be a
design where the cap face will be an incuse
brockage. When a new blank is struck by
this cap die with an incuse brockage image,
the obverse will have a raised and spread
image from that incuse design of the cap.
This brockage impression is known as a
counterbrockage.

Fold-Over Strikes
(Updated April 2017)

A fold-over coin is one of the most

dramatic types of errors. It occurs
when the blank is standing vertically
between the dies. During the strike, the
force is so great that it bends and folds the
blank. These fold-overs can be on-center
or off-center, and come in many different
shapes. There are a few fold-overs with
multiple errors, either with an additional
strike or fold-over. Denominations above
quarters are very scarce.

Martha Washington Test Pieces

Half struck by Martha Washington
dies that are permanently housed in the
Smithsonian Institute, embedded in blocks
of lucite. According to United States Pattern
and Related Issues, by Andrew W. Pollock
III, “the only trial pieces purported to have
survived metallurgical testing in 1965 were
the Dime, Quarter Dollar, and Half Dollar
equivalent strikes in copper-nickel clad over
copper.”

Mike Byers’ discovery of the Martha

Washington Test Piece on a copper-zinc Cent planchet struck 10% off-center with a uniface reverse
was a front page Coin World article on August 7th, 2000. In a response to the Martha Washington Test
Piece that he discovered, the Mint announced that “the dies are available to the Mint’s metal and blank
vendors for testing.”

 What Are Overstrikes?
Overstrikes are coins that have been struck over a struck coin. Generally speaking, there
are two major types of overstrikes. The first type would be a double denomination (a
Lincoln Cent struck over a struck Dime). Although these are overstrikes, they are referred
to as double denominations and are known on many denominations of coins from many
countries.

The other main type of overstrike is a coin which is struck (either deliberately or as a mint
error) on a previously struck coin from a different era and country. In ancient times, it was
not uncommon to strike coins over previously struck coins with portraits of earlier Kings.
In Colonial times, coins circulating were sometimes struck using other coins that were in
circulation, regardless of whether they were from the country striking the coin or from a
different country.

A rare example of an overstrike is a 1915 Panama Half Commem which was struck in
Proof over a cut down St. Gaudens $20 gold piece. The example shown above is an
example of a rare overstrike from Mexico. It is a gold 8 Escudos struck over an earlier
type and is listed in Krause as rare. The Panama Half and 8 Escudos were intentional
overstrikes. There are also examples of unintentional overstrikes which are classified as
mint errors.
