+Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Just an idea. I'll start by showing one I just noticed tonight. Look in the center, and his right eye is gone too Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The only few I own are a low-number South Africa that's almost a "black" coin rather than brass and two of my 2005 silver personal coins that are missing one of the inked squares on the gc.com logo... 1 square on each is the coin face color.

Blodlizrd Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Coin errors = more valuable... at least in the regular coin world. I like it. It gives the coin charm and individuality. Edited December 31, 2005 by Blodlizrd Quote Link to comment

SCP-173 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 My Son of Cyclops coin has a section on the outer rim where it gets really thin... not nearly as thick as it should be. Luckily it doesn't really detract from anything, it's still a cool looking coin. Quote Link to comment

+pdxmarathonman Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Another error brought up in another thread...they are all like this, but an error non the less...the GCC Benchmark Coin..... That's a typo. There is at least one other coin with that kind of problem (a personal coin). I don't think this is the spirit of this thread though.

+bullit Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I was handing out the Alabama coins to GBA coin club members the other night over a few beers and came across one coin holder that had two coins in it. Turns out that they both have the same tracking number printed on them. Quote Link to comment
