Maybe an Error ?

And maybe not. I am new to the forum and the hobby, I have these three coins, all the same year but two have nearly identical creases on the obverse near the top rim. What can I learn from them? Were they minted the same day or from the same die? or flukes? Any added value or are they worth less. Thank-you for your thoughts.

Those 2 are what is called a Misaligned Die Strike on the Obverse.
Minor Mint error

 

so no add or detract from value? Apparently common? i only ask because I have not seen it in my limited collection. They are the same year and mint.

 

Agreed with paddy. Really no added value except as a learning tool.

 

@tommyc03 But...

1931 S is a Key date in Lincoln Cents.. They have a value with or without the minor error

Sorry, missed the part of collector value by date/MM. But of course you are correct. I was just referring to the slight misalignment.

 

I knew the part about the numismatic collector value,just not the error.
