Mint errors are caused by deterioration in the die after many coins are struck or by a malfunction in the machinery. The more common errors are also known as ‘varieties’. Some collections like the Whitman Penny Coin Folder #2 have a few spaces for these types of coins. If you collect Lincoln Cents you should have a few examples represented in your collection. You can research mint errors on the internet or check eBay where there are many for sale. The most famous errors include the 1955 ‘double die’ and the 1943 copper cent. These coins are some examples of the more common error types.
