Expert: Brad Swain - 6/16/2010


Question
Any known mint errors for these?  I have one with the a 1924 date but the 2 looks more like a 9.  I have looked under magnification and it sure looks like a second 9 with a short tail at the base,off to the right.

Thanks,

Jon

Answer
Hi Jon, there are many German error coins. An extensive online database once existed but seems to have disappeared. The type and extent of the error influences the value as well as amount of wear and collector demand.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
