  AFGHANISTAN: 3 coin set, SH1383, KM-—, struck at the Monnaie de Paris, set includes: 1, 2, 5 afghanis issued by the Afghan Central Bank (Da Afghanistan Bank), Uncirculated.

These are the first Afghanistan coins struck for circulation since 1980. The set includes a copper-plated steel 1 Afghani, a steel 2 Afghani and an aluminum-bronze (brass) 5 Afghani, dated SH1383, which corresponds to AD2004. The coins feature the denomination on one side and the traditional arms of Afghanistan on the other. The arms show a mosque with the date SH1298 (AD1919), the year Afghanistan expelled the British after their third invasion. The coins were minted in Europe, sent by ship to Pakistan, and then trucked to Afghanistan. Millions of the coins were stolen while they were in transit in Pakistan. The loss was only discovered when sharp-eyed customs official noted that a truck containing the coins was much lighter than it should have been. The release of the coins was delayed until the stolen coins were recovered.

  CZECHOSLOVAKIA: AE medal, 1935, 50mm, head of Tomás G. Masaryk, circumscribed with his name and signed ‘O. SPANIEL’; the reverse inscribed ‘NA PAMET 85. NAROZENIN PRVNÍHO PRESIDENTA REPUBLIKY CESKLOVENSKÉ’ (In Memory of the 85th Birthday of the First President of the Czechoslovak Republic), a linden bough above, a laurel bough below, and dated ‘7–III–1850’ (7 March 1850) and ‘7–III–1935’ (7 March 1935), Extremely Fine.

Tomás Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937) was the leading proponent of Czechoslovak independence during World War I and became first president of the new republic in 1920. He was re-elected twice and held office until 1935. He can truly be called the father of Czechoslovakia. Otakar Spaniel was one of Czechoslovakia's greatest sculptors and is perhaps most famous for his designs used in the Allied World War I Victory Medals.

  EGYPT: 5 qirsh, 1967/AH1387, KM-412, struck 25% off center, Uncirculated.

Off-center strikes are the most popularly known mint error coins in numismatics. Off-centering occurs when the coin blank does not land properly on the collar (a metal ring between the upper and lower die of the coin chamber, which holds the blank or planchet in place when the design is pressed on the coin). With the coin improperly landing on the collar, the die only strikes a part of the coin causing the off-center image.

  EGYPT: 5 qirsh, 1992/AH1413, KM-731, broadstrike error, flan crack, Uncirculated.

Broadstrikes occur in almost the same way the off-center error does. In a broadstruck coin, however, the design may be slightly off-center but no elements such as the lettering, date, and portrait are missing from the coin.
A broadstruck coin may also appear bigger in size. This is when a part of the coin that is not protected by the collar expands upon being pressed by the coin die.

  EGYPT: 5 qirsh, 2004/AH1425, KM-731, capped die error, Uncirculated.

Capped die error happens when a struck coin gets stuck on the upper coin die. This coin then acts as the face of the die and will be called a capped die coin. When the next planchet (blank coin) is placed on the collar for striking, the newly struck coin would bear the brockage error (mentioned in the previous number). If the striking of coins goes on without the stuck coin removed from the upper die, the capped die coin deforms into a shape similar to a bottle cap or a thimble as this example is.
