    I am new to collecting. I found this in a roll of pennies and have no idea what could have clashed with it. Looks like a wheat cent back clashed on the front but the size on the back is a dime. Here are a few pictures. Thank you for your time.

    Not a Mint Error.
    Somebody took a Wheat Cent and pressed it really hard against that Memorial Cent.
    What you have is a imcused image of the other Cent.

    It's a squeeze job, not an error.

    Start your own unique thread with pictures.

    Nickel sounds like Environmental Damage
    Quarter could be a Philadelphia Minted coin

    State quarter from Philadelphia would still have a mintmark.

    Is it possibly a New Hampshire quarter? On that issue the mintmark tended to get filled with grease and "disappear".

    The State Quarters have the P. It's either worn off, or grease filled die.

    Yes it is a New Hampsher. Is it worth anything?

    I also have a 2002 Ohio that has a mint mark that is so disorted you cannot read it.
    It must have came from the mint because it is in mint condition

    Not really, maybe a few dollars as a novelty. Grease filled dies are very common and so do not normally command a significant premium, but the mintmark filling creating a "no mintmark" coin on a piece where every coin is supposed to have one creates a little interest, especailly since there are legitimate no mintmark issues on some other coins.

    Ty all for the replies! I googled pressing coins and seen pictures of people using a bench vise to do this kinda thing.

    What WOULD we numismatists do without Google and YouTube, am I right?
