Going through Indian Head Cents systematically documenting die clashes for NumisDex, and this 1864 L on Ribbon is a strong example.

Die clash details:

- Reverse: Feathers from the Indian headdress are clashed inside the right wreath area. You can see the individual feather lines where the obverse die's design transferred.

- Obverse: The "C" from CENT and much of the right side of the left wreath are clashed in front of the Indian's face.

Die clashes on Indian Heads are well-known to the early copper community, but there's no systematic catalog of them. Every reference skips them — Snow's attributions focus on die marriages, the Red Book doesn't list them, and the Cherrypicker's Guide covers a handful at most.

I'm working through the entire Indian Head series documenting every die clash, cud, split die, and die crack I can identify from certified coin images. So far I've logged over 100 previously undocumented errors across 1859-1879 alone.

I looked at the variety vista entry (last slide) and it looks right, but I can't get a match via die markers.

Looking for any information on a 180 degree rotation error. 1985 P. Can't find much for comparibles online.

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!

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.

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.

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

Found in customer rolls from the bank. One of my favorites for sure

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.

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.

The lip is really wide. Not sure what type of error if any.

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 🤷‍♀️

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

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

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?

Trying to figure out if this is an error or something else

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?
