minor errors(die cracks, clashes, lamination, etc....

I like them and like to collect them. i know they have no really following in our hobby; but i think the are unique, there for worth saving good examples. i will start with some of mine;
1960 p small date with a rim to rim die crack on the obverse




1983 P lincoln with six separate die cracks

arizona "extra leaf" die chip

 

1942 p lincoln with lam errors on both sides

 

'73 D with an obverse die clash, and a reverse die crack

 

"75 d struck through a foreign object

 

I really like that 42.

 

I enjoy a good die crack and will pay more for some of them. They just help make the coin unique to me.

 

clashed '36 buffalo

 

'59 D with a lam error still attached

 

'47 p with a nice lam on his forehead

 

this one surprised me as i had no idea that a TPG would attribute and label die chips. i got it in a trade.

 

Nice die cracks

The two die cracks on the reverse of your 1983 cent could have eventually caused the die to fall apart resulting in a cud something like this:

 

Your 1955 with die chips at the date is my favorite in this batch.

 

Here is a 1957-D with die chips at the date. :smile

 

He has the Saturday Night Live character Ed Grimly's haircut

 

I'll post my Spock cent later lol

 

Here are different examples of "BIE" Lincoln cents. One of them looks like it has a candle flame rising from the E.

The last photo depicts a 1953-D where the D is an RPM. This one is not rare but it is certainly dramatic IMO. These coins were all found while roll searching under the microscope. :smile

I also found some “cracked skull” Lincolns but have no photos.

 

my 1897 barber dime, with what i assume is a die chip above the 7. sorry for the poor quality pic, looking to upgrade soon.

 

Fun roll searching

This puppy was also found while roll searching with the microscope. I forget the coin's date.
