Canadian Error Coins
Do you have a lucky two-headed coin ? Or a coin with a bite out of it ? Perhaps you haveseen a coin with one smooth face... or a completely blank-faced coin with a raised edge ? Have you ever wondered how these errors occur or what their value might be ?
There are many types of errors which, even though they are much sought after collectibles, are not listed in the many standard coin catalogues available to the collector today. Indeed, for several years no new material has been published regarding these phenomena, and this book bridges the information gap by listing approximate values and illustrating most error types with enlarged area photographs.
The book is also an usefull reference for the numismatist with no interest in errors as it outlines the manufacturing processes involved in producing the blanks and died used for the minting of Canadian coins.
An honest attempt has been made to explain how the various error coins can occur, and the book alsoincluded a group of illustrated "errors" which could only have been manufactured by mint employees for sale to collectors of these oddities. These are listed under the heading "Back Door Specials".
