Mint Error News Price Guide
This price guide is brought to you by Mint Error News. It has been compiled by
many of the top major mint error dealers.
This price guide is a guide. Prices f luctuate due to the date, grade, eye appeal and how
dramatic the striking error is. Rarity is also a factor. The price is sometimes based on
the rarity and grade of the type of coin as well as how rare the error is. The price can
also vary depending on whether two collectors are bidding for the same rare major
mint error. When purchasing a mint error, it is important to use multiple resources to
determine value, as there are many mint errors that do not fit into one category.
Denomination Broadstrikes Die Trials
Proof Errors
Proof coins are struck by technicians who hand
feed the blanks into special presses. They are
produced, examined, and packaged using extreme
quality control. It is very unusual to find major
proof errors. A few broadstrikes, off-centers,
double strikes in collars and off-metals have been
known to be found in sealed proof sets. Proof
errors are aggressively sought after by many error
collectors.
A very small group of Proof errors recently came
from a collection that was auctioned by the State of
California. The U.S. Secret Service inspected and
released this collection to the State of California
determining that it was legal to own. The State of
California then auctioned the collection and it has
been dispersed since the sale.
