View Coin   United States BRONZE OBV 1854 1C J-161 STRUCK THRU OBSTRUCTION NGC PF 63 RB Judd-161; Pollock-187. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. Rarity 4. The design is similar to that of contemporary large cents except the diameter is closer to that of a quarter, there are no stars on the obverse, and the wreath is proportionately smaller. A small obverse strike through can be found near the rim at 4 o'clock. Pink-gold in color with original mint luster not usually seen on the J-161 pieces.
View Coin   India 50P 2010(H) INDIA ""TP XE"" PATTERN STRUCK 10% OFF CENTER NGC MINT ERROR MS 66 KM-unlisted. Struck in white metal. Multiple mint errors are found on this undocumented pattern piece including being struck without a collar, having the "TP XE" engraved on the obverse die backwards, and both sides exhibiting strong die clashing. As a result of being struck without a collar to restrain the expansion during the strike, the rims are unusually wide and the legends near the rims exhibit spreading characteristic of a broadstrike. The fields are proof-like and bright. A unique mint error pattern.

Note, the NGC insert also is incorrect as it lists this as being a 10% off-center error rather than as being broadstruck.
View Coin   United States 25C 2001 P NORTH CAROLINA 25% CURVED CLIP NGC MINT ERROR MS 64 Statehood quarter error featuring a 25% clip.
View Coin   United States 10C 1999 P STRAIGHT EDGE CLIP NGC MINT ERROR MS 65 Struck on a planchet punched too close to the terminal edge of the planchet stock which resulted a piece which is about 85% of normal coin weight. The reverse displays a small amber color toning area within the oak branch.
View Coin   United States 25C 1999 P GEORGIA 10% CURVED CLIP NGC MINT ERROR MS 62 Struck on a planchet which has a 10% curved clip. The reverse has light splashes of gold while the obverse has splashes of blue color.
View Coin   United States 25C (1996) P 30% CURVED CLIP (3.9g) NGC MINT ERROR MS 66 Dramatic clip resulting in only the last digit of the date showing.
View Coin   United States 5C 1998 P BROADSTRUCK WITH OBVERSE INDENT NGC MINT ERROR MS 65 6FS Six Full Steps. This piece was broadstruck and has an obverse indent from being struck underneath a blank planchet. The piece has blue and coppery highlights across both sides.
View Coin   United States 5C 1995-P Jefferson Nickel - D/S, 2nd struck 60% OC, obverse indent, uniface reverse PCGS MS 64 A lot going on here. Double struck with second strike 60% off-center. Obverse indentation where the two strikes overlap. Second reverse is uniface. No idea how this all could have happened.
