Chile 10 Pesos Double Struck on Feeder Finger<br />

This unbelievable <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong> is the cover story. It is a 1998 Chile 10 Pesos double<br />

struck on the actual feeder finger!! This is one of the most incredible and spectacular<br />

Major <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong>s that has ever surfaced.<br />

After reading about the U.S. Coins struck on feeder finger tips, one can appreciate<br />

this piece even more because it is completely intact and did not break off.<br />

Bill Snyder of worlderrors.com sent an e-mail to me after visiting<br />

minterrornews.com. He is a collector of world errors and read about the group of<br />

U.S. Coins struck on feeder finger tips. He asked me if we would feature this amazing<br />

feeder finger error. After several conversations, I finally convinced Bill to part<br />

with his prized posession and was lucky enough to purchase it on the spot. I am not<br />

going to sell it, but since it is too incredible to keep secret and locked in my safe,<br />

both Bill and I are proud to share it with the readers of <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
