Error Coin Guide - Stan McDonald, Numismatist
Welcome to the latest version of the US Error Coin Guide presenting over 4,200 listings for all types of errors with more than 20,000 coins reviewed. Our number one selling guide. All types of errors from striking, planchet, and dies that collectors can locate from old collections, bank rolled coins, and circulation. Many error coins circulate without detection since most are not well known.
New to error coin collecting? This book reveals all of the error types with descriptions and photos. A detailed error listing from over 20,000 error coins reviewed in 15 years. An extensive glossary compared to PCGS, NGC and ANA. Great 2023 ratings.
I am a lifelong collector, appraiser, and seller of US coins. In 1999, PCGS was the first encapsulation service to classify error coin types. I have been attending major US auctions since 2000 and decided to collect final auction information to put into the best error coin guides available beginning in 2010. The coin guides are the only books available covering all error types, doubled dies, planchet errors, striking errors, and off-center coins.

Product Description
Error Coins - Missing Letters - Ambiguous Description
A coin guide that is credible needs to present a complete coin description. The description is correct, but what does it mean? It is lacking a reason. Another of the over 100 inaccuracies in this book - B0CSNPF85L The reason that letters and numbers are missing on coins is due to die wear, abrasions on the die, and filled dies. Grease would cover more than just one letter or number, so this is not likely.

Error Coins - Incorrect Statement
Be careful selecting a coin guide as a reference. Some of these guides contain false information which leads me to beleive they were written by novices. In the photo, the author of a book states that wheat cents were minted from 1909 to 1956. The correct date range is 1909 through 1958, when the reverse was changed to the "memorial" cent.

The Photo
No VDB Lincoln Cent
The 2023 Lincoln Cent in the photo is missing the VDB. The minting die was overused and abraded resulting in the removal of VDB on the minting die. The area is fattened and not raised as intended.

The Edge
Die Break
Most die-break errors occur at the edges of a coin. The result is various sizes of cuds. Rarely does a cud cut in the die away from the edge, but in this case there is a cud in an unusual location.
