Accidental die overdating caused the 1942/1 Mercury Dime, a notable coinage mistake.
With an estimated 10,000 in circulation, this mistake coin illustrates the minting process gone wrong. Such a numismatic anomaly in pocket change is rare.
1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
The 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, a symbol of American heritage, was altered owing to popular protest. With a mintage of 52,000, this coin represents a series milestone.
The possibility that it is still in circulation shows how unexpected treasures can come from regular transactions.
With only 12,400 mintages, the 1873-CC No Arrows Liberty Seated Dime from the Carson City Mint is a Western treasure.
