Book Description
Error Coin is a specialist area of numismatics and, although the various mints around the world strive to produce high-quality coins for use by the public, they sometimes produce errors that are not detected and "escape" into circulation. You can examine the obverse inscriptions. This basically means look over the words on the "heads" side of the coin. Look for anything that seems out of place. Look for missing letters, die doubling (essentially, it will look like words or parts of words were stamped on twice), letters that are spaced too far apart, reversed letters, inscriptions in the wrong place, and other oddities. Here is an example of a coin's fault. This book right will help you to understand and identify faulty coins: - A detailed description of mint error classifications with photographs. - A comprehensive listing of over 2,000 US error coins of all types as encapsulated by PCGS, ANACS, and NGC and sold at major auctions. - Modern-day photographs of error coins - Included are doubled dies, off-center, planchet, striking errors, incorrect planchets, wrong metal, split planchets, mules, and more.
