US Mint Errors

NGC-3887301-001 (OBV

Lincoln Cent 1982, Large Date Grade: MS-65 Struck on a Dime Blank Although extremely rare in circulation, these 'wrong stock' errors are actually a common occurrence at the US Mint. They occur when coining machines are used to make different coins from day to day; occasionally planchets from different coining batches get mixed up.

Washington Quarter, 1998 P Grade: MS-65 Broadstrike with Obverse Brockage Two mint errors in one here; it is likely the retaining collar became completely dislodged in this case, allowing for another planchet to be struck with this one.

Lincoln Cent, 1966 Mint Error: Broadstruck Environmental Damage A broadstrike occurs when a coin is struck without the planchet retaining collar in place. On rare occasions, a broadstrike may cause the coin to become stuck to the anvil die, resulting in a double or multi strike.

Grade: MS-63 BN Lincoln Cent, 19XX Obverse Counter Brockage Counter brockage errors are the result of a planchet and a brockage coin being present in the coining chamber at the same time. The items may overlap or rest on top of each other. There is one exception, the “counter brockage second strike,” which is the result of a planchet and a counter brockage coin being in the coining chamber together.
