Picture this: you're sorting through a pile of ordinary change, and suddenly, your trained eye catches that subtle doubled die on a Lincoln cent. That thrill? It's what this US Error Coins Handbook hands you on a silver platter—or should I say, copper-nickel one.
US error coins aren't just mistakes; they're minting mishaps that turn pocket change into portfolio boosters. From off-center strikes to mule errors, these rarities fetch thousands because they're one-in-a-million flubs. But spotting them? That's where most collectors stumble—until now. This book cuts through the confusion with straightforward advice drawn from years of hands-on hunting.
No fancy equipment needed. You'll learn the core tools every numismatist swears by: a good loupe, precise scale, and lighting setup that reveals die cracks invisible to the naked eye. Step-by-step grading tutorials ensure you're not lowballing your finds or overpaying for fakes. It's like having a seasoned collector whispering tips in your ear.
Each chapter spotlights a standout, like the 1955 Doubled Die (worth up to $100K in top grades) or the 2000-P Sacagawea Mule. Expect high-res photos, historical backstories—from mint worker tales to the events sparking the error—and current market values. HD videos linkable from the book let you pause, zoom, and compare against your coins in real time.
Whether you're a beginner cherrypicking rolls or an advanced buyer at shows, get practical playbooks for sourcing, verifying, and cataloging. Insider stories from mint pros reveal how these errors slipped through. Plus, dodge common pitfalls like polished fakes or doctored dies.
