- While Mercury Dime Off-Center and Broadstruck coins from the 1940’s are relatively common, Roosevelt Dime Errors from this period are like hen’s teeth. This coin’s luster is regrettably subdued from over-dipping, but it’s still a pleasing uncirculated off-center from the second year of issue and the San Francisco Mint. Plus, it’s superbly struck (off-center coins usually are found with sharp full detail).

- This is a delightful, frosty near-gem with a second 75% off-center strike. The back of Roosevelt’s head is visible in front of Roosevelt’s portrait on the primary strike. This coin didn’t eject fully from the dies and got sandwiched on top of a blank planchet. The reverse of the second strike is blank, and presumably another coin shows a big obverse indent where this coin overlapped. Oh, I wish it were a mated pair…

- Bright and frosty, this coin has a big clip. A clip is caused when punches onto a planchet strip overlap, causing an oblong loss of metal on the second punched blank. The clipped blank is struck and a portion of the coin is missing. For whatever reason, I’ve seen a few 1953-D clips. This is the best silver Roosevelt clip I’ve found so far.

- Forgive me if I get poetic describing this coin. This 1956 dime is double struck, both strikes are 90%+ off-center. One strike shows two digits of the date, 56, a very fortuitous bit of detail to show on a dramatic off-center! I’ve never seen another silver dime similarly off-center that showed the date. This was one of the first dimes I acquired, and I feel lucky to have it.

- This is the coin that got me started with clad coins (originally I collected only silver errors). I had never seen a gem clip that was so large with a full date. Very cool with enough drama to excite collectors who usually don’t take any interest in clad clipped coins.

- This is the only die adjustment strike that I have been offered in two years. How many die adjustment strikes exist for Roosevelt Dimes from the 1970’s? I’ve been told that there are probably a couple dozen at the most. This is a rare coin! I was at the right place at the right time, and my collection is certainly the better for it.

- This coin was struck from a capped die that had struck several coins, causing the cap to thin out and break right down the center. The date and mintmark are fully visible, although blurred by the cap. The reverse is crisp and gem, showing a small break at 1:00. I love this coin because it hints at the pressure required to strike coins, turning metal to mush, and squeezing and contorting it, until it shatters.

- If you don’t love error coins, you should see this coin in person. Struck about 50% off-center, flipped over, and struck again 75% off-center. The first and second strike both show dates. What’s more, each strike put a kink in the coin, making it meander and contort like a miniature staircase. Simply gorgeous and dramatic!

- Here’s a big broadstruck, very clean, and graded MS67. It’s nearly nickel-size and perfectly centered. This coin was a gift from a numismatist friend who has provided me with invaluable information about errors. It’s not the most exciting error in the collection from a rarity or value standpoint, but, because of its source, it’s certainly among the most important coins in the collection.

- Struck once, rotated 180 degrees, and struck again. What looks like white marks on Roosevelt’s jaw and in the left obverse field are actually hair detail from the first strike. The reverse shows, rather more intensely, double legends. Because of the amount of rotation, this coin is about as cool as double struck in collar coins get. You never see larger denomination coins with this amount of rotation, so this is something that only us dime (and cent) enthusiasts get to enjoy.

- This coin commemorates the year that I started this collection (although I didn’t acquire it until 2006). A planchet entered the coining press and rested on top of a struck coin. The struck coin cause the deep brockage indent on reverse. The back of Roosevelt’s head and mintmark are visible incuse. Elsewhere the coin is mirrored and spreads out to a huge side, splitting at its edges. The Schuler presses make very few errors, but when things go wrong, they are resplendent, crazy mistakes. While I used to be a classic-coin aficionado, I appreciated these ultra-modern errors because so few of them are escaping the Mint.
