You dumped that? That's a lamination error.

 

I was joking. Lol. I do know what some errors look like. Not many but some. I will get there though. This one is safe in my sleeves of other million dollar finds. I know a few are decent for what they are. I know not all errors and nothing worth bragging over but these are some of the little things I keep finding that keep me hooked.
That's that special zebra hybrid Kennedy everyone is talking about.

 

this is what I was talking about on the D you can really see it Books. Not claiming this to be anything btw anyone who stops in. Mr. Books is helping me understand some things.

 

Strange to me how the coin looks so hammered but the lettering is solid for the most part

 

So...... I feel pretty dumb after actually stopping and going deeper into doubled dies and what most think are doubled dies. I was aware of different types of doubling but didn't really fully understand a lot of it or the process. Still after all the reading and pictures from Ken Potters Educational Series on this forum I have a ways to go but do thank you all for your help. There is so much to learn with this hobby. I think I am having trouble with deteriorating double dies and getting them mixed up for what I thought were doubled dies.
Seeing pictures of certain years explains a lot but unless I'm looking at that coin in hand its different. I want to post a few pics of a few coins and if anyone could help me determine which category they fall under that would be awesome. I want to understand which class they belong to. Should I start new thread or list here?

 

Post a way! We love photos!

 

Ok so here is a 1992 I found that you can obviously see what I am seeing. The Y , coat, collar, back of head (hair) , ear and more. Sure it's not a dd since I could not find on resource but if you guys could tell me the cause of this I will hopefully be able to answer some of my own questions next time.
Thanks again. Ill list 3 or 4 more that would also appreciate help with labeling machine, deterioration, etc..

 

Here is 1960 D with major cud on the 6 or what I assume is a cud. I can post more pics of whichever coin if need more of any.

Okay now a 1998 D or what was supposed to be a D. It looks like the D was removed or something and the 8 is also over an old 3 or 8 possibly.
Lastly on this one a 1970 S
You said you enjoy pics. Be careful what you ask for. I have a ton of coins that you guys could tear apart and destroy a mans dreams with. thanks for being patient with a newb

 

The 1998D is a curious one for sure, it does appear to be something under the 8. The "D", I am not sure what that is most like lt PMD I am guessing? I will let others chime in as well. The 1960D CUd, Gum, hard to say. The 1992, possible Grease filled die? What is up with the 1970S? Nice looking coin, what am I missing here?

 

Gum? There is nothing up with the 1970 S. I was just posting some of my finds to see if I was keeping the wrong stuff or missing errors I should notice.. But mainly to have people fill me in on any kind of doubling and what kind it is so I can have an in hand reference for the different types of good and or bad (no premium) so called doubled dies. I just want to make sure I am accurate with what I am labelling things and I know what if any to send and have certified. Thanks for your input. Any and all greatly appreciated.

 

I could be way off, when i say there are more knowledgeable members on here, I am not just being polite. Concerning the 1970S I am glad to hear that, as I kept looking at it and didn't see anything, but it is a very nice coin either way. Did not mean to offend at all. Just taking a guess as I am learning as well. The 1960D I said gum more as a joke then anything, lol. Should have said it was possible PMD, ie filled with a foreign object? With all that said you do have a good eye for this, and do hope someone else chimes in and tells you something more positive.

 

Messages are so hard to show emotion. Haha. I was not offended at all. I know less than you I promise. I was just explaing what was going on and I didn't know if gum was word used like railroad or something for other errors. Not offended at all I promise.

 

LOL, ok cool. Now can someone with atlast more knowledge then us please chime in, we are curious here!

 

So I'm trying to understand this properly as well. If a 1988 cent has the wide A M can you automatically assume its a RVD ? I am aware of the initials and the serif change. I wasn't 100% on the AM and A M. If so I got lucky. Pulled these 3 out of a roll earlier. So 2 would be nice.

 

Rick,

Funny you should mention the 1988 Wide AM. They all have Wide AM's Last week I thought I had found a Wide AM as I misread the website I was on, all have Wide AM;s, it is the serif that makes it valuable, from what I have read and been told. What is the RVD however? I am not familiar with that?

 

The way they have it on the site I was just at I took it as 89-93 were wide and 88 was close. Someone will definitely let us know. I'm going to check variety vista and another 1 more time and see if I misread maybe.

 

Nope you seem to be correct. It shows the dates below 88 with wide. This has been a learning experience if anything. Guess I have to sleep some time. Thanks for the input. Later.

 

I meant rdv btw. If I cant find errors at least I sure can make them

 

Now your sounding like me....LOL
