Error Coin Thursday: Clipped Planchets
That “bite” missing from a coin could be a genuine mint error—but damage can look similar.
One clue collectors look for is the Blakesley effect: weakness/distortion opposite the clip.
Ever found one?

Coin Spotlight: Walking Liberty Half
Struck 1916–1947, 90% silver and one of the great U.S. coin designs.
Weinman’s Walking Liberty design even returned decades later on the American Silver Eagle.
Where does it rank for you?

Collector Tip Tuesday: Trust the coin, not the holder.
Old 2x2s and handwritten labels can be wrong.
Wrong date. Wrong mint. Wrong variety. VERY optimistic grade. 😂
Always verify the coin yourself.
The holder is a clue. The coin is the evidence.

🔍 Error Coin Thursday
Ever find a coin with a letter or part of the design seemingly missing?
A grease-filled die can prevent parts of the design from striking fully.
Usually not a jackpot—but still a fun find.

🪙 Coin Spotlight: Roosevelt Dime
First issued in 1946, it’s now been in American pockets for 80 years.
And silver hunters know the dividing line:
1964 & earlier = 90% silver
1965 & later = clad
Still finding any in the wild?

🔍 Collector Tip Tuesday:
Hold the coin by the edges.
Fingerprints and oils can affect a coin’s surface over time. I’m not worrying about every pocket-change penny 😂, but for anything collectible, it’s a good habit.

🪙 Monday collector question:
What’s the one coin you passed on that you STILL wish you’d bought?
Too expensive at the time? Waited too long? Someone beat you to it?
I think we all have one. What’s yours?

🥈 Friday Stacker Talk
Does your silver stack have a goal?
100 oz? A full tube? Your own body weight in silver? 😂
Or are you just adding a little whenever you can?
What’s your next milestone?

🪙 What coin got you hooked on collecting?
Something you found in change? A coin from family? Your first purchase?
Everyone seems to have an "it started with this one" story. What's yours?

Error Coin Thursday
See a thin line on a coin? Check whether it's raised.
A cracked die can leave a raised line of metal on the coin. A line cut into the surface is more likely damage.
Found any good die cracks lately?

Don't forget the third side of a coin—the edge.
Plain, reeded, lettered... sometimes the edge is the first clue that a coin deserves a closer look.
Do you check the edges when you're hunting?

Error Coin Thursday
Not every strange-looking coin is a mint error.
My first question is always:
“Could this have happened after it left the Mint?”
That one habit saves a lot of time.

🪙 Coin Spotlight: Buffalo Nickel
First minted in 1913, the Buffalo Nickel remains one of America's most iconic coins.
Fun fact: the date wears off quickly, so finding one with a strong date is always a good day.
Do you collect them?
