Mint errors can add significant value to a coin—but not all flaws are considered rare. A rare coin dealer North Carolina knows how to identify which errors increase worth and which are common or accidental marks from circulation. Understanding the types of errors and how they’re verified is essential before assigning any added value.

Types of mint errors often considered valuable include:

• Off-center strikes – Coins that were stamped off alignment during minting.
• Double die errors – Where design features appear doubled due to a misalignment in the die itself.
• Planchet flaws – Missing metal or shape distortions caused during the blanking process.
• Wrong metal usage – Coins struck on the wrong metal blank, often during transitional years.
• Clipped planchets – A portion of the coin is missing due to cutting errors.

A rare coin dealer North Carolina checks error coins against known registries and grading criteria to determine legitimacy and value—providing clients with clarity on whether their piece is truly rare.
