HERITAGE AUCTIONS ERROR COINAGE SALEAnother June 2024 Heritage auction features error coins. Some "striking" pieces here - these mistakes reveal the manufacturing process behind the coins we collect, and make us all more knowledgeable collectors. -Editor 
Numismatic errors are coins that were minted incorrectly due to a mishap in the minting process. These errors can occur at various stages of production, making each error coin unique. Some errors are relatively common, while others, like mules, are extremely rare and highly prized by collectors. Error coins provide a fascinating insight into the vulnerabilities and imperfections of the minting process and are a popular collecting area for those interested in the unusual and unique aspects of numismatics. Our June 17 Showcase Auction of Error Coinage features quite a number of these unintended byproducts of the minting process. Double-denomination coin errors are among the most fascinating and sought-after types of minting errors in numismatics. These errors occur when a coin that has already been struck with one denomination is mistakenly fed back into a press and struck again with a die of a different denomination. The result is a coin that features overlapping designs of two different denominations, making it a rare and intriguing collector's item. This auction features a number of such errors, such as lot 50095, a 1994 cent struck on an already struck 1993 dime. This auction also offers coins like these.
