Basically, any error that is easily visible with the naked eye, and is desired by collectors who want to include them in their set/collection. Wrong planchet errors, off center strikes, broadstrikes, strike-throughs, multiple-struck coins, die cracks, and other errors that catch the eye are desirable to those who collect error coins, or to  those who like to pick up something a little different now and then. The trick is matching the coin to the correct interested buyer. For example, someone who is doing a date run of Lincolns with die cracks would probably love to have that coin.

ITS SUCH MUCH TO LEARN!! Coin collecting seems like it takes years to understand the market and even longer to get any idea of what you are looking at. I thank you for your insight and the knowledge you passed on to me.

Cool Find...I like stuff like that...right next to a 1795 flowing hair half...it's all good, it's all numismatic....whether .25 or $25,000.00

Some of my favorite memories are of such things.....peace
