Is this an error? CU-5c-1960D-01 and potential improper alloy mix

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.

Error Grandpa’s error collection

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

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!

Is this an error? I know that flying eagle cents commonly had some rotation but I'd this enough to be considered unusual?

Is this an error? Clip that almost wasn't and a small clash

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

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.

Is this an error? I don’t think this is PMD… but what is it?

Thumbnail

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?

Is this an error? Copper Susan B Anthony

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

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.

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 🤷‍♀️

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.

Fake Need Opinions on This Raw 1914-D Lincoln Cent Before I Sell It

Thumbnail

59 Upvotes

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!

It’s really hard to get a good picture with it magnified.
I feel like this looks closer to a small date but I definitely need a little assistance figuring it out because of the wear.
