It's peculiar looking, I'll grant you that. It doesn't look like a strike-through error, a lamination error, or die damage. It appears that you...
Die deterioration doubling is very common and carries no extra premium, unless it is very, very severe. Even then, we're talking only a few dollars.
Good deal. Your missing clad error is legit. Nice find. The status of the other coin is still indeterminate. As I mentioned, the weight of a...
I would say it's die deterioration doubling, along with some expansion of the letters caused by die fatigue.

Looks like a die gouge to me.
The silver-colored Sac dollar is probably plated, unless you can see the copper core on the edge. If you can see the copper core, then it might...
As far as the back leg goes, this would appear to be a case of intentional die abrasion ("die polishing"). Low-lying areas of the design are the...
This is post-strike damage. I've seen it many times before. Exactly what causes it, I do not know. The design features are pounded into mush....
The effect you're seeing is pretty common on off-center cents. Zinc exposure would be due to at least two factors: 1) Thinner-than-normal...
This is post-strike damage. The "partial collar" is adjacent to the obverse face, rather than the reverse face. This is impossible in a 1988...
I agree that it's not a genuine error. The pitted surface, the somewhat soft outlines of the design elements that are present, and the lack of an...
