Before the tiny Lincoln Cents of today, there was the hefty and copper Large Cent.

This coin was struck on a smaller half-cent planchet, cutting off the design for a wild error. In PCGS F12BN, it is perfectly worn and perfectly rare—perfect for Mint Error Monday.

This coin wasn’t supposed to exist.

Yet, about a dozen 1964 Special Mint Strike Kennedy Half Dollars have surfaced. Rumored to have originated from a secret transaction with a Mint employee, they captivate with sharp strikes, die polishing lines, and a satin-like appearance.

Heritage Auctions mentions in an auction description for this piece that there may actually be one or two examples known. 👀

Before the steel Lincoln. Before the aluminum Lincoln. There was this.

The 1885 Indian Head Cent pattern using a regular die was struck in aluminum instead of copper. Just a single example is believed to exist. In PCGS PR65, it’s valued at $27,500.

Star Notes replace defective bills, marked with a star by each note’s serial number. They intrigue alone—but as complete 100-note packs, they become all the more fascinating.

This $5 stack is PCGS Gem Uncirculated 66 PPQ.

Despite its controversial reverse design, the Texas Centennial Half Dollar remains one of the most sought-after classic commemoratives in U.S. numismatics. Even the common-date 1934 issue is tough in superb gem condition, and in PCGS MS68, this example shines at the top.
