What’s the Significant of an Error Coin is
When the value of a U.S. error coin is increased beyond face value, it is called a "significant" error. Since the U.S. Mint focuses on producing coins for general circulation, most errors are not very valuable.
Their primary focus is the value of their "date sets" — more specifically, the date circles on the back of the coin. These date sets are somewhat rarer than the coins with errors in them. Most of the errors and date sets out there are far more valuable.
