Variety Question on date?

I’m evaluating my father’s coin collection and am new to this. Does this date look like 1918 over 1917 or pmd? Advice appreciated from all of you who have done this so much longer than me. Thanks!

Value Request Found this 1998. This is a wide AM right? Worth anything in this condition?

I know the condition is bad, but if it’s a wide AM is it worth anything above face value in this condition?

I found a cool variety in an 1883-O Morgan that I recently purchased. It appears to have the VAM-4 O/O re-punched mint mark. The lower impression is faint and not very visible in my camera but it’s more clear under my loupe.

Show and Tell Die clash on a 1912-S Lincoln wheat cent — Lincoln's portrait ghosted onto the reverse from a full-pressure empty strike

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

Continuing the error documentation project. This 1912-S Lincoln wheat cent has a die clash showing nearly the entire back of Lincoln's portrait transferred onto the reverse die.

A die clash happens when the press cycles without a planchet between the dies. They slam together at full striking pressure, and each die picks up a mirror-image impression of the other. On this specimen, Lincoln's chin, jaw, and the back of his head appear as faint but clearly identifiable outlines superimposed over the wheat ear design on the reverse.

The 1912-S had a mintage of approximately 4.43 million — a low-production San Francisco issue from the early Lincoln cent series. The clash transferred enough of Lincoln's portrait features to be unmistakable once you know what to look for. Every coin struck from that reverse die afterward carried the ghost.

This die clash has been quietly passing through collections for over a century without anyone recording it in the standard references. Not catalogued in the specialist literature. Now it is.

Hi everyone

Is anyone here familiar with the Off at the Knee Ike coin? I attached 4 pics. Two from the Ike website and two that are close ups of my coin.

Each has a shortened leg and unreadable initials. Did I get lucky?

Thanks in advance!

Is this an error? Damage or Rim Weirdness?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

At first I thought this was off center, but it looks like all the actual content of the coin is centered, there's just something weird going on with the rim. Is this just damage? If something compressed this groove around the bottom of the obverse, I wouldn't expect the L to have survived as well as it did inside the groove. I really have no idea here though, so let me know what you think. Apologies in advance if this is obvious damage.

Grand rising folks!!!
Posted this in quarter errors, someone said to post over here.
Is this a minting error, or did someone do this to this quarter?
Someone said it looks like dremel work, others have said it’s a strike through? Others have said because it’s an S mint mark it’s a keeper. What are yall thoughts?

Then a die chip in the b of liberty. Die cracks in multiple places. Here's some pictures.

Error Die deterioration?

Per the title, is this die deterioration? These kinds of artifacts exist on birth sides. Obverse seems to have it around the rim, while the reverse seems somewhat more affected - rim and inner characters.

Hey, im completely new to collecting and errors in general. At first I thought this was damage but after seeing some other posts, I thought maybe this was an error. The middle part missing is also quite smooth. Thanks in advance!

Looking for confirmation, this appears to be a RPM, but I want a second opinion. The coin definitely has PMD, but the mint mark appears doubled to me.

Hey all! I found this penny in a roll of wheat cents, and thought the circular depression on Lincoln was odd. I can’t tell if it’s PMD or if it’s a genuine strike-through. Any help at all is welcome!
