David, I doubt there is any way to get the errors from them at the mint. A lot of the common kid do turn up these days though. LIke off center and blank planchets. Especially in the smaller coins Most banks in our area seem to get there coin in from their armoured car services who I think take care of all the rolling these days.. So the ones that have big rolling departments do turn up a lot of errors. Over the years We have been able to buy lots of 50 or 100 of the common kinds for $1 or 2. Things we then run in our ads for $$2.95 or so. Kind of neat conversation pieces. The neat ones are the ones struck on the wrong planchet. Like a nickel struck on a cent or dime or?? The 1943 Copper was in the news a couple weeks ago.. As usual the news media kind of screwed up the story so dealers all over the country had 100's of calls from people who thought they were goind to be rich.. One of the ways to test a 43 cent to see if it's copper or plated steel is to see if it will pick up with a refrig. magnet. One of the"bright" inquirers said you mean see if the penny will cling to my refrigerator??? Fritz
