From a lifetime collector, ANA Gold member & contributor to The Numismatist – get the next article in October of 2026. This is not a beginner book - it is for serious collectors.
The American Numismatic Association (ANA) has been actively calling out low-quality, often deceptive or AI-generated “imposter” coin guides (especially error coin guides) flooding Amazon.
Important Note to the Reader: This is not a casual picture book filled with a handful of common error coins and blurry photos aimed at children or casual hobbyists.This is a serious, professional-grade reference dedicated to error coin types and market pricing. Within these pages, you will find 81 distinct error types, each clearly illustrated with photographs, many from my personal collection.
This detailed visual catalog and pricing guide will allow you to confidently compare your own coin finds against the error type examples, verify their authenticity as errors, and accurately assess their value. The up-to-date price listings provide collectors with a practical edge in both buying and selling.
Book Introduction
This reference is designed for advanced coin collectors and researchers seeking accurate, verifiable data on U.S. error coins. It presents over 4,000 individually cataloged listings of encapsulated error coins, all documented from major live auctions across Florida, providing a clear view of real-world availability and market behavior.
With the exception of images used to define error classifications, this guide intentionally excludes photographs of individual error coins. Displaying a single example—such as a 1972 doubled die—would be misleading, as that date alone includes ten distinct varieties, nine carrying PCGS Fiaz–Stanton attributions. Instead, the focus is on comprehensive listings that demonstrate the true scope and frequency of doubled dies and RPM/OMM varieties.
The book includes 81 distinct error coin types, each supported by photographs and clear technical descriptions to establish accurate identification standards. For expanded visual diagnostics and attribution confirmation, collectors are encouraged to reference Variety Vista, which documents every known doubled die and repunched mintmark.
Error coin listings in this guide can be directly matched to illustrated examples on Variety Vista for precise attribution.
Built on decades of market study, this guide serves as a specialized error coin research and price reference, enabling serious collectors to identify, evaluate, and understand genuine error coins with professional confidence.
