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’d like to share these two major mint errors from my collection of Indian Cents. The first coin is a Copper-Nickel Indian Cent which has an obverse brockage depicting the incuse design of the reverse. It is also broadstruck and has greatly expanded since it was struck out of the collar.
The second is a die adjustment strike for an Indian Head Cent. Die trials are rare on early U.S. type coins. This mint error is in choice mint state condition with considerable luster and is attractively toned.
