I started collecting with my kids. Since then I have started getting into it but mostly for errors and toned coins. But I dont understand errors until I find it and see it for myself. Can anyone help me with some of this. I also acquired my grandfathers coins so I have some coins that I believe needs to be looked at. Any help would be awesome.
The cents are cracked almost al the way around and on both sides in places. The Kentucky 25c looks like the leg goes through the fence. The Washington 25c looks like die cracks. And are any of them worth getting them looked at.
Bare with me I am new to all this. I am learning and dont know the terms completely and even with the books in front of me, until I find and see the errors, DPM, D/D, etc for myself I will not completely understand. I have a hay farm in Texas and from Dec. to March I am bored so this is my new hobby to do with my kids.
Could you possibly have a normal image of each coin instead of the close ups? It's hard to tell if you have any errors if we have to zoom in on different images at different times. (BTW, I can tell that the quarters have die cracks of some kind).
It takes a lot of time to recognise and understand the different types of strike doubling, some of which is present on your coins. I have not seen any true doubled dies in the examples you give. But you do have some nice die cracks, just not really collectible. They might be worth a small premium to the right person though. On the cent where the arrows are pointing at the raised metal on the letters of United States of America, is a type of mechanical/strike doubling. It is totally worthless for a premium, so NOT COLLECTIBLE. Some of where you have arrows pointing to the disruption in the field just before the rim is also not collectible. I don't know what it's called, if anything, but it shows up a lot on lincoln cents.
