I am going to continue posting the errors my kid found here. This Nickel seems to have some copper cheeta marks on it. Again I have no idea what it is, or its value if anything. This coin in the CENTER is a Lincoln presidential gold dollar. The edge markings seems to be extrememly faint. Almost unreadable. Weak strike? Any idea on value? This coin in the CENTER is a 2000 Kennedy half. It seems to be a heavy strike, or a "thin" planchet? This coin is a Arizona state quarter, and seems to be an extra cactus leaf? Continued @ A Few Errors (C)
I just realized I could just reply to my last post rather than make a whole now one. Sorry for not noticing this sooner. This coin is the Nevada state quarter. It seems to be a broken die? I have seen it online being called the "horse pooping"? Any idea what this might be worth? This is a South Dakota quarter with a few small errors. The 8's are partially filled at the bottoms, there is a "halo" over the bird's head, and there is a "lump" on the birds neck. Any ideas on a value for this one? This is a Mississippi state quarter. I have seen this coin on Ebay in better condition called Improperly Annealed, sintered planchet, and the price for it was around $200.00 What do you guys think about this coin? This coin is a Washington state quarter, with what seems to be 2 filled 8's. One on the top, and one on the bottom.
This coin is a New Hampshire state quarter, and I haven't been able to get any perfect pictures of this yet, I will try to get better ones in the morning. This coin has double die strikes on almost all of the text on the coin. The "New Hampshire" is doubled on the reverse, and "United States of America" is doubled. Any idea what this may be worth? This coin is a 1989 dime, the front and back of this coin are heavily distorted, and a very rough texture although very shiney. I have no idea what is going on with this dime. I can upload images if the back if needed. Any idea what this is or the value?
These are 2 different dimes that seem to be off center. The opposite sides of these coins is off in the same spot. Are these off center strikes? This coin seems to be a 1972 error penny, the date, and some of the text on this coin seem doubled. What do you think about it?
Here are 2 more images of the 72' penny Again thank you for any of your help you can give, it is very much appreciated.
The dime is an off center strike; however, the acceptable tolerance is 3%-5%. The penny has what's known as mechanical doubling, which occurs from mechanical issues during the striking like the planchet shifted during the striking or the die was jarred out of position from vibration or other reasons. This is not considered an error. The image in post #5, looks like that is raised, and is called a die crack, which occurs from stress on the die and over use. Also not an error. The images in post #3, are all mechanical doubling and not double die. Here's a item to help you with distinguishing between double die strikes and mechanical doubling:
