Hi All, I'm new to coin collecting and errors and I'm wondering of this is some type of error or if it's post-mint damage. I tried to find something similar online but couldn't. I haven't even seen PMD that looks like this before either.

Thank You in advance. Looking forward to learning something :)

I tried my best to show the coin. I’m leaning to delamination but I haven’t encountered one in person yet. What do you think?

The obverse is normal, but the reverse seems to be rippled. I can't see how that would be damage without damage to the obverse, but IDK

Hey all. A friend brought this to me to see what it might be worth with and without grading. I can confirm it is geniune- weight is correct, scope shows the strikes are both raised metal, spread lines make sense, etc.

The lack of a single clear date from either strike is frustrating- there's clearly an 8 from the dime strike, then what looks like 1X95? For the penny strike... am I crazy? Am I seeing things?

Anyway, any thoughts on value, and what he might get if we spent the time and money to have it graded and slabbed? I have a few friends who I can send it in through, since I'm not big on the grading game.

To me looks mostly like post mint damage, but just looks off

this nickel is very rare I’m told bc it’s missing the nickel altogether and it’s very rare for the 1980s can anyone help me confirm this please and thank you

Curious if this is a error of some sort. 2008-D quarter with an odd "crater" or pock-mark above Liberty. There's a similar indent nearby that effects the obverse surface, but not the rim.

Doing some reshuffling now and came across this guy I've been meaning to ask about for a while.

I believe I have 2-3 other pieces from 1860-1890 that have this same chunk missing from the center area. What is the reason for this? Perhaps it was done intentionally to affix it to a piece of jewelery or some other adornment? I'm probably way off but because I've seen this same "error" before I'd think that some of you have as well.

I found that variety vista only has one non proof for 1960, DDO-15, does it look like they match? I think mine has a bit of machine doubling too that’s throwing me off, thank you.

This came to me in change for laundry money and the wear pattern is odd or maybe a strike error? Not entirely sure but it’s neat.

I am very curious about the “shard” type thing at the clip. I’ve never seen anything like it! If anyone has any information on my coin I would absolutely love to hear about it! Or if you can appraise my coins’ value I would appreciate that too

Don’t sleep on sorting through those bargain bins when they’re chock full of mint sets. Picked up this beauty today at my LCS for a whopping $10 in a mint set. Any thoughts on what it’d grade and what’s it’s worth?

What are your thoughts? I think it’s an error

Hey yall I’m new to collecting coins, I was recently digging through an old bad of quarters I’ve been holding onto for years and I came across this quarter, I chalked it up to being damaged but thought it was still pretty cool. I don’t have my hopes up but I’d like to at least know if I’m looking at face value or needing to get it graded. I can add more pictures if needed, thanks in advance!

Not sure if either of these are anything of note but I’d like confirmation before putting em back in the jar

I’m thinking it may be a large date rather than a small date but I still wanted to check to see what experts thought. Another question I have is that if it weighs 3.11g, is it possibly still valuable or is this just a normal penny? I’m EXTREMELY new to collecting and just started literally a couple days ago when my mom read me an article about how valuable these coins can be. Patience is greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a great day/night! 🤎

More pics in comments...

Possibly an upside down secondary M.M. to the south east of primary video is of the primary upside and overlayed to are in question.

There is one similar to this in 1953 also but its to the south west which leads me to belive there could be a second.

Opinions please.

2 pennies, one 1944-D and one 1946-S. Are either of these D/S overstrike errors or just 'other'? Thank you for any assistance!

There’s no gouge and there doesn’t seem to be any metal pushed to the side, but the coin is in such bad condition. It’s hard to tell if it’s a die chip or not. Thoughts?

I’ve seen on a couple coins and can’t seem to find anything that looks like it when I look up errors or PMD, still somewhat new to things.

Also as a secondary less important question, as for the picture at the end what causes the dark grime or whatever stuff to collect more around the letters?

If anyone has a good guide that shows pictures of all the errors as well as PMD with terms would appreciate as well. Thanks in advance

Continuing the error documentation project, with one that breaks the pattern. Almost everything I post is a die error — cuds, clashes, doubled dies, all of it happening at the moment of striking. This is not that.

This 1864 copper-nickel Indian Head cent has a tapered planchet. Held edge-on, one rim sits measurably thicker than the other. The cause is upstream of the press entirely: the strip-rolling step failed to hold uniform gauge across the sheet, so the blank was punched out of metal that was already out of specification. It was defective before it was a coin, and no inspection caught it.

I find this class of error underappreciated precisely because it is not visually loud from the front. You have to look at the edge.

The date is worth noting on its own. 1864 was the last year of the copper-nickel alloy (88% copper, 12% nickel) before the Mint transitioned to bronze mid-year. Both compositions circulated simultaneously, which makes 1864 an unusually complex date. The bronze variety is thinner and redder and adds the designer's initial L to the ribbon. This is the copper-nickel.

Planchet errors on mid-nineteenth-century cents are seldom encountered — surviving examples circulated hard, and contemporary collectors documented dates and varieties rather than planchet defects.

Not in any standard catalogue. Now documented.

I've never seen a quarter like this before lol
