| 1949 | "Shaggy beaver" | F Neat error. Have a look at the scans to see the extra metal shaped almost like a standing tuft of hair on the beaver's back. | $4.00 | PIC

| 1751-1951 | "Half Moon" | EF Popular error, collected like a variety. A crescent-shaped raised area is seen below the date. This is actually the result of a die clash leaving the outline of the King's inner ear on the reverse. | $6.00 | PIC

| 1751-1951 | "Half Moon" | VF Same error as previous coin, but the "half moon" is much more faint. | $2.00 | PIC

| 1751-1951 | "bug in hair"
#1 | EF Big die chip in King's hair really stands out. This particular bug is bigger and has a thin tail (unlike the next coin below). | $3.00 | PIC

close-up |
| 1964 | double K.G. | EF The engraver's initials are doubled, no doubt the result of some strong chatter that has also left the rim denticles quite shaken. | $2.00 | PIC

| 1977 | High and Low 7 | VF+ The last 7 in the date is either high or low relative to the 7 that precedes it... I have both, and the Charlton catalogue puts a much higher price on the Low 7, even though I have no anecdotal evidence to suggest either variety is scarcer. Anyhow, the High 7 nickel has scuff marks and I'm including for free with the Low 7 coin. | $3.00 | PIC 1
