Issue 83 of Mint Error News Magazine is now available, featuring a 1980-D Lincoln Cent struck on a 90% Silver Dime planchet that is in an upcoming Heritage Sale. Another just sold for $18,000 in the August 2025 ANA Heritage Auction!!
Published by coin dealer and error coin expert Mike Byers, the magazine brings the latest information to the collector. It also features Die Trials, Test Pieces, Numismatic Rarities, Patterns, Currency Errors, Discoveries from the United States Mint, and a 32-page price guide.
Who knew a cent on a dime planchet could fetch $18,000? Mike Byers certainly knows his errors – and his audience does too! This is the kind of latest information that keeps collectors on the edge of their seats. Though I suspect my wallet prefers the simpler world of error coins that sell for less than a cup of coffee. Still, its fascinating to see the market for these numismatic oddities. Keep bringing the discoveries!
