Is there a Colloquial Term for this Kind of Error Set?

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

I've seen a few sets of errors referred to as 'clock sets'...like this:

 

 

Sometimes they are clipped, other times they are off-center strike errors. But it makes sense.

 

But is there a colloquial term for this kind of error set?

 

 

If not, care to make one up?

3 leaf clover set?

I've never heard of a term for it. It's an interesting way to put a set together.

Hahaha...yeah. You know what I don't like about it...it's not perfect!

Well it is an "error"set.

Here's another example of this kind of set on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10c-Roosevelt-Dimes-Off-Center-Mint-Errors-Lot-of-3-Coins-BU-H-632-/131169401717?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item1e8a4e3b75

 

Do you think I could get NGC to make a special holder to display a set like this?

The Chinese could make a special holder for you and then strike another 'improbable' error like that for you to stick in there.

Chris, where did you find those error coins?

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

They are both on eBay. I listed the pennies and originally wanted to know what I should call it. The dimes are someone else's listing.

The seller who listed the dimes called them "Off-Center Mint Errors". That seems like a reasonable term to use.

Danny also used that line, but I can't remember the name of the movie. I've always liked Danny even though he is so tall.

He's amazing in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He wasn't part of the original 1st season. But now he's no doubt my favorite character on the show.

Louie DePalma is my absolute favorite character played by DeVito, and "Angela's Theme" (from Taxi) on Bob James' Touchdown album is one of my favorite instrumentals.
