| | Mint-made errors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The results are usually obvious errors that are also prized by collectors, though the errors are usually caught in manufacturing and destroyed. | | | Modern coins are still released with hub and die errors, because the defects are too small to be seen with the naked eye. | | | In addition, unminted or blank planchets are occasionally produced. |

| | These "made for collectors only" coins are often marketed as limited editions, the limit often being the number of sets that can be sold during the original promotion. | | | One unorthodox collector has a splendid set of coins that were made in the metal nickel. | | | Since the majority of world coin collectors will change the direction and content of their collections and wish to sell some pieces it is wise to have bought coins potential buyers will consider desirable. |

| | This is sometimes no accident, as mint employees have been caught selling error coins to collectors and dealers for a nice profit. | | | This rim is applied to the blank by an upsetting mill, which compresses the blank’s edge as it is spun between two beveled surfaces. | | | To help prevent error coins from leaving the mints or even from being produced in the first place, each coining facility has installed riddling devices. |

| | Later, the Mint mark was added to the design at an even earlier stage; it now appears on the original model, meaning the Mint mark appears at every stage of hub and die production. | | | But however it happens, collectors who enjoy looking for error and variety coins, especially on State quarter dollars, are pleased to take a manufacturing headache and watch it turn into a collector's dream. | | | The incused areas of dies frequently fill with debris, including grease, dirt and other substances commonly found in factories like Mints. |
