• Die-adjustment strike: This error happens when the die strikes the coin with less pressure than normal, causing the coin to have less detail. 

• Off-center strike: This error occurs when the planchet is misaligned between the dies during striking, causing a part of the design to be missing. 

• Rotated coin: A 90-degree rotation of the reverse side of the coin can indicate a genuine error.
