    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Point us to what you see that makes you think they might be error coins.

    IMO it would be in your best interest to post one coin at a time and be sure to post both sides and state what error that you see. JMO

    I don't want to sound harsh here but instead of taking a picture of some change and expecting someone else to waste their time looking at each coin for errors is crazy. I hope this isn't your intent here but look at it from our viewpoint. I could take a picture of daily change I get and post it so someone else could do the dirty work for me.

    Don't forget to make it a fuzzy picture. Low-resolution, showing only one side of each coin, maybe only part of one side for the ones around the edges.

    In fact, taking group photos and uploading them is still kind of time-consuming. Wouldn't it be more efficient to say "I've got 18 cents worth of pocket change, how much is it worth?"

    Sorry, OP, not taking a swing at you directly, but we've had to deal with an awful lot of "rare fuzzy-photo error" threads here of late...

    actually I have a thread about Pocket Change.

    But I don't ever expect anyone to say anything about value or anything. Just interesting, old find circulated pocket change.

    better yet. buy a book on errors and varieties. this is how you really learn on what you have. doing the research yourself can be a very rewarding coin collecting experience in itself. if you do post more pictures... explain what you think you see as an error or something interesting/different about each coin. having them in focus will also help us tell you what you have. good luck in your coin searches.

    In the first photo I see 4¢, and in the second photo I see 26¢. Does that help?
    As Dave 363 said, one GOOD photo of obverse and reverse and state what you think you see and let CT contributors give their opinion.

    I guess the quarter doesn't kinda say in God we rust, for everyone being mean or having attitude, I spent 7 hours going through 800 pennies, plus the other change, about 15 hours all together. I found nothing . You tube does kind of make you anticipate finding a coin worth more than face value is not that difficult or unlikely. so thank you for your 1 minute. Ii'm not trying a get rich quick scheme, I'm trying to become skillful at an odd hobby. I have read and read , and just to get a fresh perspective and mentality, it i'ts nice to have as little interaction and " change" of pace. Thank you time is money

    Welcome to the world of coins. It is best to post as the other members mentioned. Do not get frustrated at the comments that some make. I recommend buying or borrowing a coin book from somebody , or do research online to better inform yourself about coins and different varieties. It is always best to post both the obverse and the reverse sides of each coin to give us a better view of what you have. Stay away from You Tube they make it sound that it is easy to find a coin that is very valuable , and in reality these types of coins are somewhat rare and difficult to find. Keep on checking your coins all the time , but have a reference book that you can look the coin up in to give you some basics about the coin. Error coins is a different ballgame in its own. To spot errors you must first teach yourself the basics of collecting, and do research online as there is many places to login and find many answers to your questions. If you do have a coin that seems odd by all means post it here, and some of the members will help you with your question about the coin. Some members like to joke and have fun so do not get put off by some of the answers that some members post. We all are here to help each other ,and some find it humorous and like to have fun . We all had to start at some point , and nobody means any harm by what they post to you. Keep on reading ,and go back and re-read things again . You can never be to informed in the coin collecting hobby. Good Luck , and hope to see some more postings in the future. Dillan

    Try varity vista and look up the coin in queston. Try to get a match. Then ask members to confirm
