Bringing the latest mint error news to the collector. Also featuring Die Trials, Patterns, Test Pieces, Numismatic Rarities, Currency Errors and Discoveries from the U.S. Mint.
I wanted to share these world errors that I’ve recently purchased with the readers of Mint Error News Magazine. The first one is a 1704 French 1/2 Écu triple struck on an already struck 1/2 Écu from 1691!!! The other is a mated pair 1/2 Mark in silver from Germany. The coins are from 1918. I wonder, could they be the oldest mated pair known??
