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.
Error coin collectors tend to like the unusual. Odd shaped scrap and fragmented error coins really stand out in one's collection.
Scrap and fragment coin material sometimes gets its way into the coining chamber and is then struck by the mint dies. Scrap metal may find its way into the mint in many forms such as massive clipped planchets, clad layer scraps, die cap fragments, or any other odd pieces of metal lying around.
Scrap fragments can be struck into a coin. Struck scrap fragments can also create interesting brocakages when pressed into another coin leaving an impression of the struck fragment.
Make your collection more interesting by adding an odd shaped scrap or fragment error coin.
