If damage happens to a coin before it leaves the Mint, then that coin is considered an error coin or a mistake.

Here’s a list of well-known U.S. coin errors, how to determine a true error coin from a fake one, the most valuable error coins to look for, and how to spot new errors on coins — because new errors are being discovered all the time!
