Unfortunately, the errors & varieties are on lower grade coins. The first is a 1937 DDO I think.

It is definately an error, but in all my reading about the difference between machine doubling and an actual doubled die, I haven't really seen any good pictures. Given the odds, I'm betting this is just machine doubling, but could someone let me know for sure?

I was also curious, since both are rare, why is it that doubled dies are considered valuable while machine doubling is considered damage? Is it just relative rarity?

The second picture I thought was just a terribly damaged Kennedy Half. It looks extemely worn down. On second glance though, with the rims still intact as they are, how could it be normal ware? Wouldn't it have impaced the rims as well? Is there any other way for this to have been created?

Thanks.

It was picked up in a lot of Liberty nickels. It weighs just 3 grams rather than 5 and is only about as thick as a dime.

I have surmised that it was struck on a foreign planchet, and was wondering if anybody here knows what foreign copper nickel coin the mint was striking in 1900 that weighed 3 grams.

Anybody know?

I'm no expert on Mint error coins and was looking for any info on this coin. Its normal on the reverse but the obverse is copper looking. Looks like its missing top layer of coating...:confused:

I know its bad lighting but I can't get better pics until later.

Thanks for the help !!

Weak strike and a grease filled die?

So ugly, I think I will keep it.

]]> Error Coins KKeller http://www.cointalk.com/t79045/ 1968 Dime missing letters http://www.cointalk.com/t79036/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:41:41 GMT Hello all...

I think that I've learned (by lurking here of course) that these things are not very rare and therefor not valuable but I thought I'd share anyway.

The 8 in the date is really light and there is a U missing on the back.

Thoughts and comments would be great.

]]> Error Coins Heavy http://www.cointalk.com/t79036/ clipped coin? http://www.cointalk.com/t79006/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:04:34 GMT I am not an error coin collector although if I find one while roll searching that looks odd or is one that is listed in the Red Book I keep them or at least check them to see if they are errors. That being said you I don't know much so I am asking for help with a Lincoln Cent that is clipped on the side, it is a straight clip not rounded like some I have seen pictures of and I want to know if that is possible or would it be post mint damage? How can you tell? I also have some cents from the 80's that bubbles on the obevrse that are odd looking. The bubbles are not round they are long and narrow I was wondering if this just a defect in planchent or is it cused by the die? I will try to get some pictures I just can't do it right now.
