| 2000d Gold Dollar
These were from a us mint roll. I opened them up and 2 were toned. These are not the toned coins are these considered error's? If so any value, Thank you, Bill.

They appear to be strike through errors. As to value, yes there are those who will pay a small premium for these, but it rarely amounts to more than a few dollars.

Hi,
The color looks weird. Are they the color of quarters? Look at the edge to see if you see a copper core as there would be on a 25 cent piece. If so, you may have coins struck on Quarter Planchets. Those would be GREAT!! Finds!!!
Have Fun,
Bill

They definitely aren't struck on quarter planchets, as the dollar has the full image front and back, and the dollar planchet is larger than the quarter planchet.

Its possible you have "sintered" planchets, particularly if they are blackish in appearance and not just darker. If so, you may want to have them authenticated as sintered plancets by a respected grading company. Sintered planchet errors carry a decent premium with error collectors.
PS sintered planchet is basically a planchet that was "burnt" during the annealing process of the plachet.

I am assuming since Bill 1938 said they were normal color that the scan bleached the coins. Guys this is adigital processing error not a coin discoloration error.
Bill 1938-
Were the toned coins on the end of the roll. Sac's tone very quickly when exposed to the oils on skin and eposed to air.
Are they a yellowish brown color, kinda like baby puke? If so that is normal for Sacs. If they are colored with reds, blues or pinks than they may be beautifly toned coins which could be worth more if someone likes the toning pattern.
