Jaelus' Hungarian Mint Errors

Set Description
This is a set of Hungarian circulating issue mint errors to accompany the coins in my main Hungarian sets (1848-Present).

Set Goals
I am attempting to collect major errors of Hungarian circulating issues as I see attractive and interesting examples come to market. I am particularly interested in mint errors from the Austro-Hungarian compromise period (1868-1918), though they are very difficult to find.

Of particular interest to me in modern errors are the hole error types of the 2 fillér KM-546 (1950-1989) and KM-673 (1990-1992). Currently I have examples of KM-546 with a major offset hole and with double punched holes, however, I am still looking for an example with the hole absent entirely, as well as comparable examples of these error types in the short-lived KM-673.

View Coin   HUNGARY 1800 TO DATE 10FIL 1894KB WITH BROCKAGE ON EDGE NGC MINT ERROR MS 64 I originally purchased this coin as an off center strike with a minor clip, however, upon receiving the coin it became apparent that what originally looked like a clip was an edge brockage. The coin was full weight so it could not have been struck from an incomplete planchet, and the area that looked like a curved clip was the only area on the coin that had the reeded collar impression. This created quite an unusual appearance since this coin was struck out of collar. In this case the reeding was the reverse impression of reeding from a second adjacent already-struck coin.

Due to the curvature of the planchet, it is apparent that the "10 Filler" denomination side was imparted from the hammer die, and the Holy Crown side was imparted from the anvil die, respectively.
