Known Errors

• Off-Center Strike: This error occurs when the coin is not properly seated in the die, resulting in a design that is not entirely contained on the coin’s surface. The more off-center the strike, the rarer and more valuable the coin can be. 

• Doubled Die: This rare error involves multiple impressions of the design on the coin, creating a doubled appearance. The most notable example is the 1918 Doubled Die in MS65+ condition, which is extremely rare. 

• Die Crack or Die Cud: These are physical defects on the coin’s surface, which can range in value from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on the severity and condition of the crack or cud. 
• Repunched Mintmark: This error occurs when the mintmark is stamped twice, which can also increase the coin’s value.
