Hello, I new to collecting coins but had since enough about 20 years ago to keep coins from each year. I was watching coin videos on YouTube, so I decided to did out all the currency I've collected through out my military career. One interesting discovery I made was finding the two coins I've attached. I'm not sure if these are considered error coins but from what I've been learning I think they are. The top of the O and R on obverse are cut off. The reverse the T D and R are cut off at the top. I saw a simular coin on ebay for sale but even me with my limited knowledge know that that doesnt mean anything.
What you have is DDD Die Deterioration Doubling Not true Doubled Die Not Mint Errors Just worn die issues Forget ebay. Many of those sellers know absolutely nothing about varieties or Mint Errors!

Welcome aboard. For the love of all things Holy, stay away from youtube unless you are watching cat videos.
I think you should not hijack someone else's thread. Bad form. Also, your coin has a minor case of grease filled die. Very common in that area.
