The errors that are easiest to find are those that aren't worth much and would be hard to sell at a premium above face value. In other words, most people would say they aren't worth the time spent hunting.
That said, something really hard to find (like a 1983 copper penny which weighs 2.6 grams and hasn't been acid treated to reduce it's weight), may be worth thousands if you got it certified by one of the major companies. I saw an article in one of the coin magazines valuing one at over $100k.
An example of something in between the two extremes would be the Wisconsin extra leaf quarters. Even though they are pretty cool looking, I haven't seen much of a market for them in at least five years or so. So you might want to try and find 1-2 buyers in advance before you waste a lot of time hunting for any errors.
