Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $220.00 This coin was struck once, rotated about 90 degrees in the collar, when it was struck again. Monticello from the first striking seems to float below the Monticello from the second striking; 25¢. 1976 Bicentennial. Off-center strike. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Struck 20% off-center toward the 8:30 position; Lincoln Cent - Memorial. No Date. Bronze. Off-center strike. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated....  more 1730 10¢. 1935. Off-center strike. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $2,500.00 Full Split Bands. Struck about 35% off-center toward the 10:30 position. Deeply dished reverse indicates that this side was the hammer die. Light golden toning bathes frosty, fully lustrous and very well struck surfaces. 1731 25¢. 1918'S'. Off-center strike. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $18,000.00 Full Head. Struck 10% off-center toward the 9:00 position. Subtle lime and champagne gold tones beautify this coin's frosty, fully lustrous surfaces. Robert Knauss, in his Standing Liberty Quarters: Varieties and Errors, documents three different off-center strikings for this date, but the current specimen is not among them. Errors within the Standing Liberty Quarter series are quite rare...  more 1732 25¢. 1920. Struck on foreign planchet - Peru, 20 Centavos BU $12,000.00 6.93 g, 106.9 gns. 24mm. Brilliant Uncirculated. Full Head. At a casual glance, this lightly toned, lustrous silver coin looks like a normal Standing Liberty Quarter. It is only when inspected from the edge that this coin reveals its greater than normal thickness. When gently dropped on a hard surface, this coin does not emit the high-pitched ring expected of a silver coin but rather the deeper ring...  more 1733 $1.00. Heraldic Eagle. 1798 Knob 9. Bolender 6 (R-3). Off-center strike CH AU $12,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Struck about 3% off-center toward the 12:00 position. Here is an error coin that is technically an off-centered broadstrike, as no design details or lettering is missing. Devices are remarkably well struck, while the surrounding fields boast wonderful silver mint frost. Here is a coin that would find a welcome home in the collection of the error coin, die variety...  more 1734 Trade $1.00. 1878'S' Broadstrike, off-center CH EF $15,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Here is an absolutely heart-stopping error for the Trade Dollar series, as very few striking errors have survived from this short-lived type. This specimen was struck out of collar and about 10% off-center toward the 3:00 position. For those that study the coin production process, it is interesting to note that there is a die crack that extends from the olive branch,...  more 1735 $1.00. 1921'D'. Broadstrike, off-center. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $2,200.00 Struck mostly out of collar and about 10% off-center, but without affecting any of the design details. Some edge reeding is present at the 3:00 and 9:00 positions, indicating that the planchet was partially in collar when the hammer die descended. The strike is remarkably full on this lightly prooflike, lightly toned specimen. Very rare and desirable, as are all Morgan Dollar errors. 1736 $1.00. 1979'P'. Off-center strike. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $120.00 Struck 10% off-center toward the 12:00 position. Fully lustrous, light slide marks in the hair. 1737 $1.00. 19(79)'P'. ''Cud'' die break. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $225.00 - nearly Choice. A large piece of the die has broken out from the 4:30 to 6:00 positions and extending from the rim to the base of Ms. Anthony's bust. Although the date is missing from the coin due to the die break, this die break is known to be from the 1979'P' issue. Large die breaks like this are quite scarce on this short-lived series. 1738 $2.50. 1905. Broadstrike, off-center. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $9,500.00 - or finer. Here is an absolutely stunning gold coin error, very few of which have gotten past the rigorous gold coin inspection process. Struck fully out of collar and about 10% off-center, without cutting off any of the devices or legends. It is interesting to note that the unstruck portion exhibits a pebbly, matte-like texture. The struck portion exhibits creamy, rich amber-gold lustre on...  more 1739 $2.50. 1913. Off-center strike CH AU $5,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Struck about 5% off-center toward the 6:00 position when viewed from the obverse. Although seemingly very minor in the degree of off-centering, this piece is very significant as precious few errors from the Indian Head series made it past strict gold inspections at the U.S. Mint. Gold errors are rare overall and are more likely to be from the Liberty Head than the...  more 1740 $5.00. 1881. Broadstrike, off-center. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $11,000.00 Struck mostly out of collar and less than 10% off-center, with some reeding visible from 7:30 to 1:30 along the reverse rim. Creamy, wheat gold lustre may be found on both sides of this very rare major Half Eagle error. 1741 $10.00. 1885'S'. Partial out of collar strike CH AU $3,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Struck partially out of collar, with a large flange of extruded metal from 9:00 to 1:00 along the obverse rim. This extended flange robbed the coin of metal to flow into the reeding at the lower edge, causing poor definition in the reeding at this point. Green gold and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit a solitary carbon spot above Miss Liberty's head. Striking...  more 1742 $20.00. 1914'S'. Large planchet lamination. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,300.00 A large (3mm x 25mm) dropped lamination extends from Miss Liberty's shoulder down to her right foot. Minor planchet laminations are sometimes found on U.S. gold coins, but it is unusual that such an oversized one got past quality control inspections at the U.S. Mint! 1743 So-Called Dollar. 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Omaha, Nebraska EF $1,800.00 Hibler-Kappen 281. Off-center strike. Extremely Fine. Struck about 30% off-center toward the 1:00 position. Glorious coin silver-gray and iridescent blue toning defines this deeply dished, ''baseball cap'' type off-center striking. Old hairlines are noted on unstruck portions. Simply splendid! 1744 Minor Error Group Lot BU $30.00 Most are die cracks, highlights include a 1945 1¢ with a partial collar and a 1955'S' 1¢ struck on a thin planchet (31.7 gns). All are Brilliant Uncirculated, or better. Most exhibit some PVC on their surfaces from storage in vinyl holders. 9 pieces. Page 2 of 2  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
