How many mint errors can you spot on this coin

Actually I don't think I see any mint errors on that coin. I see some die state indicators, such as the die cracks, the obv clashed die, and the removal of some detail from overpolishing. And I several die identification features from the many recut letters. But that was just how they made the die, I wouldn't call it a mint error.

What Conder101 said above along with a very minor obverse planchet crack.

 

I agree. There is a small possibility that it was double struck, based on some ghost images in the beaded border, but it's hard to say from the pictures.

Could it be a large date over a small date ?
