Haha, you certainly have an eye for detail, Zac!
I once read on Numista that there exist several varieties on the edge of the UK 10p from 1992. Only I can't figure out what they all mean!
Could you explain me those varieties with pictures?
I'd love to hear, Lotus07

1) Is it an error because it says CAROVLS instead of CAROLVS ?!
2) Or in DEI GRA the A is an upside-down V ?! They must have used letter A as there is one in CAROLVS
Maybe both of those two lines are the errors.

Both, of course. The engraver botched his job (too much whiskey ). I've got another error-free.

Really weird metal splatter on British 20p
I have a british penny with similar metal debris.
Above the word 'one' are two drops of metal and in the field above the harp and beneath the claw of the Welsh dragon there are some more specks of metal that shouldn't be there.
How's this for a coincidence, South Africa 3d 1945 over 3 with pretty much the same die crack errors on reverse as fourmack's coin - no die cracks on obverse though.
Here's a marriage coin, turn 325 degrees, even bad stamping on the obverse, the other day literally found. I do not know such marriages people collect?

But such marriages who collects.
Semicircular notch on the coin on its edge directed toward the center. Marriage is obtained in step cutting circles from under the sheet blank, as a result of improper feeding blanks.
and we can see on this coin second photo closeup another marriage
Lack of metal edging on the coin. Marriage is also obtained in preparation for future coins and blanks occurs due to improper operation of the machine.
I just found 2 Canadian 2010 leaf with the same die crack
They were in a bag of 5 I had - all in vf to xf. Never found two with the same error at the same time.
yours daryl
nice ones torontokuba
Lotus its a XF coin and i dont think it every circulation.Iam starting to think the coin before left some in the die the rim is there.Or a bit of rag was in with it.I dont think it was a weak strike because it has a full rim.

Hmmm, ok, well it's a nice piece to add to your collection anyways! :)

It's a struck-through-grease error, and a fairly significant one too!
heres another UK penny 2010 with extra metal and and die crack
You know Vladislav i have swap and gaven away 20 to 30 erorr coins and you are the first to see it.
I do find the occasional rotation error on UK 50 Pence, but they are usually rotated slightly to the right, and one side mostly. This is both sides and they are to the left. I do wonder whether I am a weirdo though, as how come I noticed this in pocket change, whereas it has already been circulating 16 years.
Oh, and all previous errors are just rotation, but this also has a scuff mark (see yellow arrow) in all angles. Not sure what caused it but must be something to do with the error.
Quote: kolikko99both coins are 2 kopecks from 1811 if anyone knows the value of the coin then please tell me. the error one is 1mm wider and thicker than the normal.
Your coins, there is no error, it is permissible dimensions
Very nice coins with errors. I would like to have one. The most I like is the 1 cent 1859 Canada coin. I looked through my German-coins { Kaiserreich ], but I could not find any coins with errors. Do they have none with errors?
Hey daryl, I'm not that into error coins really, I prefer to have a good strike I just saw it and found it amusing unless it were a serious error like a Mis-matched die or a highly worn that's cracked, but it would still look for a perfect one !
Hey Mark i was being just off. Yes i really dont collect them ether. If i keep it goes in my token area. The way its going if you find perfect one you we be lucky.
Lotus07 you can have i we send with the 1944 Mexican coin.

Any one have an ideal about the Italy L.20 coin
First of all, thanks for the 2 coins! :)
About that 20 Lire, I think it has been struck on some sort of dirty planchet. I've got a bunch of Greek coins with a similar thing (they don't have a complete smooth surface, some small bubbles or something like that appear on the coin), only this 20 lire is a lot more worse than the coins I have. I'll try to upload some pics of my Greek coins later. Hope this helps you.

Also, here's a picture of a Belgium 5ct with extra pieces of metal on it, found it a week ago in my change.
Not really that rare, because Belgium eurocoins tend to have more of these errors than eurocoins of other countries. Still a find pocket change find though! :)
I have other coins like that, but that's the first that came to my mind :
I think I found a Toonie with a reversed center in my cash drawer last week, but saw it after I gave it to a customer Too bad I haven't bought it (the queen was on the wrong side, so was the polar bear )
Si tu cognes ta tête contre une cruche et que ça sonne creux, ce n'est pas forcément la cruche... lollll mon proverbe préféré !
Whats up with this Austria 1980 1 schilling km#2886. First i thought it was something on it. Tryed cleaning with alcohol. Would not come off Soak it for 2 hours didnt come off.I did the big sin. I used metal cleaner. It still there. But parts of the metal above the coin looks like the same metal of the coin. What do you think.
thank you daryl
I have a Russian 15 Kopek coin with both sides the same, and this American 1 cent that was double struck with another coin. The interesting bit is that the American coin was struck second. The planchet is the 1 cent size. Any one know what the second coin is?
I had a look, and I could not find any coin that resembles the second one. Definitely not a Sacagawea Dollar as is suggested. Perhaps it is a token of some kind.
Sorry but this is not an error, all the half franc 1993 coins were struck without mintmarks.

I have a mixture of foreign coins, and decided to try to sell most of them. While going through them, I found this 1975 French franc. I think it's an error as none of my other francs have this groove under the letters on the front of the coin. Still have more coins to check!
I have the same markings on my 1961 (also 1 Franc) coin ...
I think caused by a faulty coin-counting machine (different machine, different circle size).
Welcome to the site.
P.S. While here may as well add this triple error coin (UK 50 Pence 2013) I got in change the other day - a doubling of the edge, the portrait, and the lettering ... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces41361.html
The other side is normal.
My favorite one: Spain 5 pesetas 1991 with a very weakly minted reverse, compared to the original one (sorry but Numista image treatment modifies the image orientation)
