Blank planchet error coin

A blank coin was the only error found in this box of 1,000 Washington Dollars.

Here's another photo of M.S.B.'s blank coin. The 999 normal dollars depicted with it are a reminder of just how hard it is to find error coins in bank-wrapped rolls. I searched through 6,000 plus Washington Dollars and found only a few very minor errors: a cracked clad layer (with a very teeny crack running across the face from rim to rim) and half a dozen embossed letter types (which some people persist in calling "dropped letter" types when they are not!) I have an article that explains the difference between dropped letters and embossed letters.
