were sometimes struck using other coins that
18XX Paraguay Peso Struck Over a Chile 1849 8 Escudos
The largest gold overstrike was a Pattern for the Paraguay Peso. The unfinished die only had the
first two digits of the date. It was struck over an already struck Chile 1849 8 Escudos and is in
magnificent condition. There is considerable detail of the 8 Escudos visible on both the obverse
and reverse under the design for the Paraguay Peso. This is the most fascinating gold overstrike
in this set due to its large size, condition of preservation, detail present from both designs and its
status as being unique.
18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over a Chile 1853 10 Pesos
The next gold overstrike was a Pattern for the Paraguay 50 Centavos. Once again the unfinished
die only had the first two digits of the date. It was struck over an already struck Chile 1853 10
Pesos and is also in magnificent condition. There is considerable detail of the 10 Pesos visible
on both the obverse and reverse under the design for the Paraguay 50 Centavos. Since the Chile
10 Pesos was larger than the Paraguay 50 Centavos, the original Chile 10 Pesos design is visible
around the peripheral. This pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.
This gold overstrike was also for the Paraguay 50 Centavos Pattern. Using the same unfinished
die as the gold overstrike described above, it was struck over an already struck Chile 1859 10
Pesos and is in gem condition. Since the size of the Chile 10 Pesos was very close to the diameter
of the Paraguay 50 Centavos, some of the design of the understrike is visible on both sides. This
pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.
18XX Paraguay 20 Centavos Struck Over an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos
The fourth gold overstrike was created when an Argentina 1887 5 Pesos was used instead of a
blank planchet to strike this Paraguay 20 Centavos. Once again, the unfinished die was used to
strike this coin. There is considerable detail of the Argentina 5 Pesos on both the obverse and
reverse under the design of the Paraguay 20 Centavos. It is also in gem mint state condition. This
pattern overstruck in gold is also unique.
18XX Paraguay Peso Struck Over an Argentina 1882 Peso
The largest silver overstrike was a pattern for the Paraguay Peso. As with all of the gold overstrikes,
the unfinished die only had the first two digits of the date. It was struck over an already struck
Argentina 1882 Peso and is in choice mint state condition. There is considerable detail of the
understrike visible on both sides. Even though it is not struck in gold, or over a struck gold coin,
it is still a spectacular overstrike since it is on a large silver Peso from another country.
The remaining four overstrikes in this unique set also used the same unfinished Paraguay Pattern
Dies and were overstruck on struck silver and copper coins from Argentina with various dates.
18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over an Argentina 1883 50 Centavos
18XX Paraguay 50 Centavos Struck Over an Argentina 2 Centavos

1877 Seated Quarter
Die Trial Adjustment Strike
This is a unique mint error and the only one known for any of the denominations in the Seated series (Half Dimes
through Dollars). All die trials for US TYPE coins are extremely rare. This piece was in the collection of a well
known East Coast coin dealer. This die trial shows the full date and part of the design on the obverse and re-

Mint State condition and shows incredible detail. Full brockages on ancient gold coins are extremely rare. The
few that I have handled were overstruck by the dies in an attempt to correct the mint error and save the coin.
This piece was not overstruck and shows the full brockage.
Lincoln Cent Struck on Bow-Tie Dime Scrap
Bow-tie errors are very scarce, but to have an off-metal bow-tie error is unbelievable! This Lincoln Cent was

Mint Error News Price Guide
This price guide is brought to you by Mint Error News. It has been compiled by
many of the top major mint error dealers.
This price guide is a guide. Prices fluctuate due to the date, grade, eye appeal and how
dramatic the striking error is. Rarity is also a factor. The price is sometimes based on
the rarity and grade of the type of coin as well as how rare the error is. The price can
also vary depending on whether two collectors are bidding for the same rare major
mint error. When purchasing a mint error, it is important to use multiple resources to
determine value, as there are many mint errors that do not fit into one category.
Proof Errors
P roof coins are struck by technicians who hand
feed the blanks into special presses. They are
produced, examined, and packaged using extreme
quality control. It is very unusual to find major
proof errors. A few broadstrikes, off-centers,
double strikes in collars and off-metals have been
known to be found in sealed proof sets. Proof er-
rors are aggressively sought after by many error
collectors.
A very small group of Proof errors recently came

from a collection that was auctioned by the State
of California. The U.S. Secret Service inspected
and released this collection to the State of Cali-
fornia determining that it was legal to own. The
State of California then auctioned the collection
and it has been dispersed since the sale.

Broadstrikes
A broadstruck error occurs when a coin is

struck without the collar to form the rim and
edge that is part of the shape of the coin. Coins
can be broadstruck on either type one or type two
planchets. When a coin is broadstruck the blank
being fed into the collar will spread and distort
outward as it is being struck because the collar
isn’t in the correct position to retain it.

Partial Collars
P artial collar strikes occur when there is a mal-
function of the striking press. This causes the
collar to be in an incorrect position. The lower
die (usually the reverse die) is recessed in the
collar. This allows the coin which is going to
be struck to have a formed rim. After a coin is
struck the lower die raises upwards, pushing the
struck coin out of the collar and ejecting it. If a
blank entering the collar is not properly seated, it
will only have partial reeding as it is struck. The
edge of this coin will have a partial reeding and a
partial blank surface area. Recently, the Mint has
installed new machinery where either die can be
installed in either position.

Uniface Strikes
U niface coins occur when there have been two
blank planchets in the press at the same time.
The other blank will obstruct the die on either the
obverse or reverse side, which will prevent it from
having that design on the coin. There are many
different variations involving uniface errors. In
addition to having a 100% blank obverse or re-
verse, a coin can be struck off-center, with a blank
planchet in the collar which will obstruct one side
of the off-center. There are also mated pairs which
have a combination of multiple errors which can
include a side which is uniface. Finally, there are
uniface strikes due to a die cap which adhered to
the die, forming itself in the shape of a die and
striking blank planchets.

Bonded Coins
B onded coins occur when the feeder sys-
tem, which supplies blank planchets to
the coin press, malfunctions and jams. When
this occurs, a struck coin is not properly eject-
ed and another planchet is fed into the collar
and is struck. This struck coin will land on
top of the previously unejected strike. These
coins will then crush and bond together. This
may occur many times as more coins bond.

Coins Struck on Feeder Finger Tips
A fter a recent tour of the U.S.
Mint at Philadelphia, it was
discovered that the minting process
had changed to some degree. One of
the changes was that “feeder fingers”
were used during the striking of all
denominations of U.S. coins. Prior to
this tour, U.S. coins that were struck
on feeder finger tips were authenti-
cated and described as being struck
on aluminum scrap. Coins from all
modern denominations have been
discovered that were struck on the
tips of these feeder fingers.

Struck Fragments
T he blanking press takes the coils of metal
strips and punches blanks out of it, eject-
ing the webbing at the other end. The webbing
is cut into small scrap pieces to be melted and
recycled. Occasionally a scrap piece will be
mixed with the blank planchets and struck
by the dies. Struck fragments are rare in the
larger denominations. These can be uniface
or die struck both sides and are very rare on
type coins.

Mated Pairs
M ated pairs involve two individual coins with different er-
rors that were struck together at the same time. Mated
pair error combinations can be found in most error types and
come in many shapes and sizes. Mated pairs can be overlapped
when one of the coins is struck off-center on top of another
coin. Another type involves a brockage where a struck coin was
perfectly centered on a blank and restruck. Some mated pairs
involve a die cap where the cap and brockage coin are discov-
ered together, but this is a scarce find.
The rarest mated pair type involves two die caps (obverse and
reverse) where both dies were capped at the same time and both
die caps are mated. This last type is extremely rare and there
are only a few known examples of mated pairs involving an
obverse die cap and reverse die cap. There are several of these mated pairs known on Kennedy Halves in-
cluding two dated 1976, which is the Bicentennial year. One of the most spectacular mated pairs involve two
Barber Dimes, an obverse die cap mated to a reverse die cap and are unique.
Mated pairs can also involve an off-metal where a smaller blank planchet or smaller struck coin was struck on
top of a larger coin. This type is extremely rare. The most spectacular pair known is a double struck Franklin
Half which was mated to a Lincoln Cent. The Lincoln Cent blank was on top of the obverse of the struck
Franklin Half. This pair was then struck together. It is unique.

Transitional Errors
A transitional error occurs when a coin is struck
on a planchet from a previous year with dif-
ferent metal composition. The most famous transi-
tional is a 1943 copper cent struck on a 1942 cop-
per blank. 1943 cents were struck in steel because
of the copper shortage during World War II. Other
famous transitionals include 1965 coinage struck
in silver instead of clad.
There are also transitionals struck on blanks for

the next year. An example is 1964 coinage in clad
instead of silver. Most recently, transitionals were
discovered involving the SBA and Sacagawea
Dollars of 1999 and 2000. There are eight known
1999 SBA Dollars struck on the brass planchet for
the 2000 Sacagawea Dollar, and four known 2000
Sacagawea Dollars struck on a clad planchet for
the 1999 SBA Dollar.

U.S. Gold Errors
M ajor mint errors on U.S. Gold coins are the
most prized category of all mint errors.
Gold errors are very rare and a few have traded
in the $75,000 to $100,000 range. Even a broad-
struck U.S. Gold coin can easily sell for $15,000
to $30,000 compared to a broadstruck Cent,
Nickel, Dime or Quarter which all sell for well
under $10. Many serious collectors of Gold Errors
have to wait patiently for months and sometimes
even years to aquire that one special piece for
their collection.
The prices listed here are for common dates in

AU-Unc. Better dates and errors that are in gem
condition are worth considerably more.

Indents
A n indent error occurs when two blanks are
fed inadvertently into the same collar, with
one blank partly overlaying on top of the other.
When the hammer die strikes this combination,
the upper blank will be forced into the lower
blank, creating a depression which is shaped
similar to the upper blank. A scarce type of
indent occurs when a blank intended for one
denomination lands on top of a blank from a dif-
ferent denomination.

Capped Dies
A capped die is caused when a struck coin
sticks to the upper hammer die. Once the
coin is struck to the die face, the reverse of the
struck coin becomes the new die face. When the
next blank is fed into the collar and the strike oc-
curs, the reverse design of the adheared struck
coin impresses itself into the new blank. This
struck coin is a brockage strike. The coin that ad-
hered to the upper die is known as a die cap. This
process repeats itself as more coins are struck by
the cap. The greater the number of strikes, the
higher the cap metal will be pushed around the
upper die shaft. Eventually, the cap brakes away
from the die in the shape of a thimble.

Die Adjustment Strikes
D ie adjustment strikes are also known

as die trials. This error occurs when a
coin is struck from the press with very little
pressure. When the press is being set up and
adjusted, extremely weak strikes occur as the
strike pressure reaches its optimum level.
These die trials are destroyed after being
struck and are rarely found in circulation.

Double Denominations
O ne of the most expensive, popular, and
desired types of errors are the double
denominations. This error happens when a
coin is struck on a previously struck coin of a
smaller denomination. Examples are a cent on
a struck dime, and a nickel on a struck cent.
The most dramatic are those with consider-
able design visible from the original strike.
There are a few known double denominations
with different dates.

Brockages
A brockage error can only occur when there
are two coins involved. One of the coins
involved will always be a struck coin which has
not ejected properly. That struck coin will find
its way back between the dies and will be struck
next to a blank planchet which was fed into the
collar. The image of that first struck coin will be
impressed into that side of the blank planchet.
The result will be a second coin which has im-
ages of the first coin impressed into it. Those im-
ages will be pressed into the coin and the image
will be in reverse. This incuse sunken image is
known as a brockage.

Double & Multiple Strikes
W hen a blank planchet is struck by the

dies, the normal procedure is for the
feeders to eject the struck coin out of the
collar and into a chute. If there is a malfunc-
tion and the struck coin isn’t ejected, it may
receive a second or third strike by the dies.
A multiple struck coin can happen in many
ways and have many combinations of errors.

Off-Center Strikes
O ff-center coins are one of the most com-

mon and best known types of errors.
This happens when a blank which is sup-
posed to be fed into the press, lands in the
collar improperly. When this occurs only part
of the blank is between the upper and lower
dies. When the dies strike the blank, only that
part will be struck with a design.

Off-Metals
O ff-metal and wrong planchet errors occur when a correctly made
blank from one denomination is accidentaly fed into a press for
another denomination. Examples are a nickel struck on a cent planchet
and a cent struck on a dime planchet. The coin struck on an incorrect
blank will weigh exactly what the denomination of that blank would
have been. An even more dramatic wrong planchet error is a coin
struck on a previously struck coin of a different metal.

Canadian Mint Error
This is an incredible and unique Canadian mint error. 1978 Cent Dies were struck multiple times
over an Olympic 1976 Commemorative $10 that was dated 1974. Although many dramatic and
unusual Canadian errors surfaced during the 1970’s, this is the most dramatic and spectacular
piece that I have ever seen.
1923-S Peace Dollar Die Trial

This is a spectacular Peace Dollar major mint error. It was struck as a die trial adjustment strike. It
was also out of the collar and is 5% off-center. There are only four known Peace Dollar die trials,
also referred to as die adjustment strikes. All major Peace Dollar errors are extremely rare.

1891 $5 Triple Struck Proof 64 NGC Mint Error
Offered in Heritage Long Beach Signature Sale
From the Heritage Auction:
1891 $5 --Triple Struck--PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is an amazing Proof half eagle that was triple struck with
rotation between strikes on the reverse. The obverse does not show any evidence of the extra impressions from
the die. The first and second impression of the design on the reverse are evident in a counterclockwise position
relative to the third impression. In addition to the importance of this example from the extra strikes, it is also a
rarity, one of just 53 examples coined in Proof format. Further, the 1891 half eagle is also a lower mintage issue in
business strike, meaning that the overall rarity is an important factor when considering the demand of this issue.
Different sources suggest disparaging survival rates for this issue. In his Complete Encyclopedia, Walter Breen
suggested that about 25 to 30 different Proofs of this issue survive, representing about 60% of the recorded mint-
age. Including resubmissions, NGC and PCGS have combined to certify 45 examples. Perhaps this population
total does fall in line with the Breen survival estimate. At Heritage, a check of our Auction Archives indicates that
this is only the second time that we have offered a proof example of this date in all of our sales over the last dozen
years. A complete and accurate roster of known examples has not been attempted, to the best of our knowledge,
and would be difficult to accomplish. So many of the gold proofs are similar in appearance that plate matching
over many years of auction offerings is rendered quite difficult. Of course, the description of this example with its
tripled reverse would be unmistakable. We suspect that this particular example, with its extra design impressions,
is most likely unique.
The surfaces have light yellow-gold color with mirrored fields and highly lustrous devices. A few light abra-
sions are visible on each side. There is a small black spot just above Liberty’s eyebrow and a couple others on
the obverse rim. These minor blemishes limit the grade and keep it from Gem quality. The devices are highly
lustrous with frosty light yellow color. A few small lint marks attest to the proof status of this coin. One of these
is located just below star 4. The most noticeable evidence of triple striking on the reverse is in the fields around
the eagle, especially in the open areas above the eagle and below the motto. Certain of the letters in the motto and
denomination are also tripled with this evidence weak but visible. The fields themselves have the wavy or watery
appearance so often seen on proof gold coins. This is truly an amazing ultra cameo proof with exceptional eye
appeal and a high degree of desirability.
“This is an impressive piece,” said HNAI senior cataloger Mark Borckardt. “This amazing proof half eagle was
triple struck with rotation between strikes on the reverse. The obverse, however, does not show any evidence of
the extra impressions from the die. The first and second impression of the design on the reverse are evident in a
counterclockwise position relative to the third impression.”
Greg Rohan, HNAI president, added, “In addition to the importance of this example from the extra strikes, it is
also a rarity. It’s one of just 53 examples in proof format. Further, the 1891 half eagle is also a lower mintage is-
sue in business strike, meaning that the overall rarity is an important factor when considering the demand of this
issue.”
He said that census records from both the Professional Coin Grading Service and the Numismatic Guaranty Corp.
indicate that only 45 examples of the coin are known to exist.
“Indeed, Heritage has only offered two proof examples of this date in the last dozen years. We suspect that this
particular example, with its extra design impressions, is most likely unique, and look forward to spirited bidding
on this rare item.”

F A Qrequently sked uestions
What are indents?
An indent error occurs when two blanks are fed inadvertently into the same
collar, with one blank partly overlaying on top of the other. When the hammer
die strikes this combination, the upper blank will be forced into the lower blank,
creating a depression which is shaped similar to the upper blank. A scarce type
of indent occurs when a blank intended for one denomination lands on top of a
blank from a different denomination.
F A Q
requently sked uestions
What are mules?
A mule occurs when a coin is produced with mismatched dies. In some coun-
tries, the Mints use dies for different denominations with the same dimensions.
In these instances, mules have been known to exist and are not that rare.
An example would be a New Zealand/Bahama mule where thousands were

struck and they are worth $50 each. The obverse of a Bahama 5 Cent piece was
muled with the reverse of a New Zealand 2 Cent piece.
On the other end of the spectrum are the extremely rare mules including a few
from the United States. An example would be a mule with a Sacagawea Dollar
reverse and a State Quarter obverse.
The photo shown above is a rare example of a Euro 50 Cent reverse that was
muled with a Euro 20 Cent reverse. This rare piece is also a “two-tailed” coin
because both dies were reverse designs and both are denominations of Euro
coinage.
