HERITAGE OFFERS ERRORSIn their March 18, 2024 U.S. Coins Showcase Auction, Heritage is offering a number of nice error coins. Here's a selection from a recent Heritage email. -Editor Error coins serve as fascinating glimpses into the minting process, offering tangible evidence of the complexities and occasional imperfections inherent in the production of coins. Each error coin is a one-of-a-kind anomaly that escaped the rigorous quality control measures of mints, making them rare exceptions in a field that values precision and uniformity. Our March 18 Error Coinage Showcase Auction focuses on these unique treasures, giving you the chance to add these relics of the minting process into your collection. 
1921-D $1 Morgan Dollar -- Struck 5% Off Center -- AU55 PCGS. A boldly impressed Morgan dollar, struck 5% off center between 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the obverse and between 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock on the reverse. A trace of highpoint wear appears over the devices, but the coin was quickly removed from circulation by a fortunate finder. This 1921-D remains an important and unusual mint error -- few silver dollar errors were ever released to the public. Attractive gold-gray and lilac patina covers each side, with generous mint luster remaining beneath the toning.
