The

Error Type Collection
This is a work
in process - the house collection, if you will. We are
defining what we feel is a reasonable type collection
for an error
collection
and
leaving room
for expansion in any error type. For instance, if you
specialize in off-center coins you can expand by denomination
and/or date, but the type collection will only have one.
We are adding
the Wild! section which is
where the coins struck on a car bumper and other strange
and improbable errors will go. Since part of the purpose
of this set is to enforce discipline, this is also the
area listing duplicates I just can't bring myself to
trade or sell. In this type collection, that area is
limited to ten pieces.
