A handful of bronze slugs accidentally ended up in the coin and eventually became wheat pennies.

error coins

When it comes to collectible value, error coins are best. Thousands of coins are minted at the same time and a lot can go wrong. If the error is obvious and easy to spot, the value of the coin will increase. However, this is not always the case. Many valuable coin flaws are difficult to spot without a magnifying glass. Look out for these types of errors:

  • misalignment
  • double punch ā€“ often looks like bubble writing and can only affect a small part of the coin.
  • metal content errors ā€“ usually determined with a gram scale or a magnet
