Have YOU ever owned a 1933 Gold Double Eagle or an 1804 Silver Dollar?

"I Have"

No, I've never owned either coin mention above, but I've owned coins just as rare or even rarer. What makes the two above mentioned coins so rare? It is either their mintage or the number of surviving pieces known to exist, which in either case is just a few.

That is why I, along with countless others, have decided to collect error coins. There are many error coins out there that are just as rare as the two above mentioned coins or even RARER. That's right! Many of these errors are even rarer than the rarest known US coins.

Error coins like: Most Caps on Ike, SBA, & Sacagawea Dollars and MOST type coins from Indian Cents to Barber Halves. Off Metals on Indian Cents, Standing Liberty Quarters and many other denominations. Even 20% and larger Off Centers on Standing Liberty Quarters, Walking Liberty Halves and Franklin Half Dollars. There are just so many "unique" errors that have known existing examples numbering less than SIX. Some have just three, two or even only ONE known to exist. YOU don't have to spend seven million dollars to own one of these rarities, just several hundred to several thousand dollars to own a coin just as rare as the two mentioned rarities above. Over the past few years many collectors and dealers have been discovering these new rarities and have caused the prices to explode on many of these coins. Nevertheless, we feel the current prices are still amazingly reasonable considering how rare they are! Want to view something just as rare as the 1933 Saint-Gauden? The next time you see a major error dealer's show case at a coin show or view their website, look at some of their better errors, I'm sure they will astound you!
