Coin collectors. What is your favorite error coin? Whether you own it or not.?

Personally, I find it funny there is such a big fuss about "factory rejects." Any other factory would have those in the recycle bin, the management would be debating a recall, or the customer service department would be busy with calls for a refund or a lawsuit. Isn't life a funny thing?

    I do not collect error coins either and to big of a deal is being made on some of them that a microscope is needed to see. it seems to be the fad today but like all fads will end with people losing money. A coin that is a so-called error coin, which is actually a doubled die and that is the 1955 doubled die, it is very dramatic. The doubled date does stick out with no need of magnification. All the state quarters with the extra trees and the DC quarter with the extra piano keys are just not my thing. I collect historic coins or ones that are a small great piece of art. To have a coin in my hand that may have been spent by Alexander the Great or may have been in Thomas Jefferson's purse is a thrill.
