There is an error that has a mirror incuse design, I believe it is called a sandwich strike. That being said, 99% of coins that you come across...
The detail on that coin sure is "crisp"us. ;)
Looks like the coin took a few hits. It is damage. Keep up the hunt!
Your definition of a die clash is correct, but that's not what that is. There is no evidence of a clash on the obverse. Here is a definition for...
That is a nice CUD error. Although it is not the largest, it can still fetch a nice premium on ebay. I would say $7-15. Keep up the hunt!
Looks like a modified date. The last digit does not seem to extend far south enough to be a 3. A true 1943 cent has the 3 extend below the foot of...
Mechanical doubling. Common for the date and not worth much, if any premium. Keep up the hunt!
Post pictures. This is a coin that has often been faked. Also weight it. It should be about 3.11 grams. But still, post pictures. You may get an...

Picked up a VF 1868 3 Cent Nickel at a local shop today.:thumb:
The coin has been scraped or damaged. It is not an error. Keep up the hunt!
Die crack. No laminations on zincolns. Keep up the hunt!
This thread has taken an unexpected and unwanted turn. I thought we were going to have a great discussion on errors, but instead, it turns into...
Not sure if this belongs here. Er...well, it has what looks like wings. Not sure if it flies...
So...not much has changed then. :devil:
I think it's a great discussion and gets people thinking about what would be considered an error. Not all imperfections are naturally-occurring...
We had a box tortise named Houdini who (ironically) disappeared overnight. My sympathies to you, and my kudos to the anonymous person that was...
Zzzzombie thread!
I stand by the fact that I stated earlier, that die deterioration doubling is just evidence of a naturally-occurring process. It IS on the site...
