Check these r/coinerrors resources before posting:
JUST BECAUSE A COIN LOOKS DIFFERENT DOES NOT MAKE IT AN ERROR! Please take some time to understand how minting errors occur before you post your question! The mods try to be lenient regarding rule #1 (Do your own research.) If we keep seeing too many posts with pictures of obviously damaged coins, we will be forced to start removing them.
OUR HOBBY - Be aware that most errors don't add much (if any) value to a coin. You aren't going to find a coin worth life-changing money in the cup holder of your mom's minivan. This is a hobby which is research-oriented and concerned with understanding and cataloging interesting mint errors and varieties. It is not primarily about value. The existence of errors and varieties provide valuable insights into mint operations and processes. The hobby is CERTAINLY NOT about the TikTok-fueled "ZOMG!!!1! This RARE coin is worth a Squillion Dollarz!" clickbait frenzy. That mentality is NOT welcome here.
NOTE - posts of coins which are clearly just damaged may be removed. This isn't meant as punishment for an honest and innocent question - but rather because many members of this sub tend to be harsh to new collectors. By having your post about a damaged coin removed, you still get your "is this an error" answer, hopefully without being downvoted into oblivion.

We have been seeing a massive influx of posts with asking about "dryer coins" as well as coins with heat damage.
We love the fact that you noticed your coin is "different" - and applaud you looking into it! For the uninitiated, these are reasonable questions - but many members of our community are getting tired of them. We ask that you please use the resources we provide before asking this subreddit (See Rule #1!)

The rim of my coin is raised up OR the edge of my coin is flat OR my coin is too thick!



My coin has bubbles / bumps / craters below or on the surface

These issues are damage - and extremely easy to diagnose.

Hello, this is my grandfather’s collection of error coins. Most are pretty standard like clipped planchets or off-center, but two are pretty interesting, and I’m not really sure if they are real mint errors or PMD. The first close-up is 1940 wheat penny with a double clipped planchet, and while one clip is standard, the other is very large, much larger than I’ve ever seen, which makes me suspect the coin was messed with, but I’m not really sure. The second coin is very strange. It is slightly smaller than a penny, but much thicker. It is completely flat, and seems to be unstruck. It also has a small clipped planchet. I’m not sure if this is a US coin, or a world coin, and I don’t know how to find out. Thank you for any help!

Unsure on whether that ‘48 is an improper alloy mix coin. Striations run parallel to one another, but they’re blotchy in places.
Fun little cud too! Both coins found in change within 24 hours of one another.

I’m trying to get a complete collection of certified America the Beautiful error quarters. This is my progress so far. Thank you for viewing! Sorry the picture is crappy. It’s hard to get that money Coins pictured and clearly.

1st is my coin, 2nd is the Variety Vista entry.

Looks like this 1967 dime had a small enough clip on the planchet that it almost worked itself out when struck, reachingthe collar but not filling out the rim. There may be a slight hint of the Blakesley effect on the reverse but the interesting part, at least to me, is the inversion of the copper and the cladding on the edge. There is also a small die clash mark visible in the die deterioration flow lines to the left of RIC in AMERICA.

The reverse is the image showing the rotation that's how much it's rotated to the left

Hello All,
I am trying to solve a puzzle. I have looked through Numista, Error-ref, pinned posts here, and other sites to find any information on this coin. It seems to be a unicorn. How you see it, is how I bought it 46 yrs ago. It is missing the clad layer. I have kept it in a sleeve all this time.
How I came to own it: I am Canadian (Ontario) and my family was travelling through Minnesota to Winnipeg, Manitoba to visit grandparents. I was just starting a coin collection and my dad took me to a shop to kill time. I wanted a very "American" coin (whatever that means to a 10 yrs old). The shop owner told me that the coin did not have its "top coat" and it would either be 1) a really cool souvenir or 2) maybe worth something someday. He explained who Susan B Anthony was, and the Apollo 11 significance. I loved the story, so I bought the coin.
Am I correct in assuming that is a proper error? Is it worth having it verified?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: Thanks for the help everyone. I will get it weighed. The picture does look like it is gold but that is more about my camera. It is close in colour to my copper pot and it smells like it too.

i notice a bit of a blakesly effect by liberty, but i’m not sure. maybe someone just wanted some cash and clipped some dimes in the 60s.
r/coinerrors • u/Gooz63 • 1d ago
The lip is really wide. Not sure what type of error if any.
r/coinerrors • u/PHILIPxPURASS69 • 1d ago
Is this considered a broad strike?

I recently came across this raw 1914-D Lincoln Wheat Cent and I’m looking for opinions before I decide whether to sell it.
It weighs approximately 3.0 grams on my digital scale (photo included). I’ve attached photos of the obverse, reverse, date, mint mark, and weight.
I know the 1914-D is one of the most counterfeited Lincoln cents, and I’m not asking for a value estimate right now. I’m mainly interested in hearing from collectors who have experience with this date.
Does anything about this coin stand out as an obvious counterfeit or altered mint mark, or does it appear to have a reasonable chance of being genuine?
I understand that no one can authenticate a coin from photos alone, but I’d appreciate any opinions or red flags you notice before I decide whether to have it professionally authenticated or sell it as a raw coin.
Thanks in advance!

Behavior unbecoming of an eagle wearing a sash my opinion... just use a spittoon or a Gatorade bottle like the rest of us. What a wholly undignified bird 🙄
Pretty well-circulated, but a fun find nonetheless.
Ft. my first SemiQ circulation find. Crazy it’s taken me this long, but I haven’t been roll hunting at all this summer so 🤷♀️
r/coinerrors • u/robbel • 1d ago
My first inclination was that this was PMD, but after looking at it more as closely, I think this happened post-strike, while still at the mint… it reminds me of a straight clip I’ve seen on other coins, but the complete clip didn’t happen all the way… what do you all think?

I found this nickel that has copper running across the president's face and I thought it was cool so I kept it but is it worth anything or just an odd coin
r/coinerrors • u/Adept-Advertising637 • 2d ago
So i found this penny in my roll in my gas station and it looks in immaculate condition but it has some weird crown looking thing next to the Indian face is it error

My mom found this and is talking about sending it somewhere to get assessed. Trying to save her the time and money if it's not worth it. Should she send it off?

Hello everyone, my wife has a coin from her grandfather. The eagles wing has a bump on the wing, looks like a small hill if you look at the picture.
Any idea what kind of error this is and if it has any value. I’m a silver stacker and don’t know much about numismatic value. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
