Mistakes That Pay Big: Valuable Error Coins

Like the leaning tower of Pisa, error coins demonstrate the alluring appeal of human error. Error coins account for some of the most rare and valuable collectible coins in existence. Since the rise of modern minting technology, coin collectors have treasured error coins. Errors happen for lots of different reasons, from complex production issues to simple human error. But one thing’s for sure: sometimes it pays to make mistakes. The three coins listed below represent a classic error coin in the 1969 Lincoln cent, a more recent example with the 2004 Wisconsin State Quarter, and the future of error coins in the 2014 Britannia mule coins.
