I started coin collecting when I was at 711 and people were doing their scratchers thing. I looked at a roll of pennies and thought the odds could...
I don't even know what a Red Book is. I do have a simple collection of pennies, mostly from circulation but all red or red brown. The objective...
I'm new and I can tell you for a fact that one of the main reasons why "any error" is starting to become something is due to the lack of errors...
Here's some closer shots. The dent above the date is my doing unfortunately but since it's there I figured I'd use it as an example of what I...
How can I discern a hit from a minting strike on a coin? I'm just imagining all the same stuff I would use in a car accident. Paint transfers and...
So normally I'd just assume this was PMD but had it not been for the fact that this penny is immaculate. Not a scratch or a scuff on it. No die...
Speaking of quality, I just came across this 2007D. The coin is immaculate. It rivals my proof coins and probably even beats it. I'm kicking...
Damn. I was sure it was doubling in the "in god we trust" part. The O has like 8 rings on it and the trust looked like there was another copy of...
Before jumping to the conclusion that it's DDD or machine doubling, which I can see it looks like it has some of that, in fact damn near every...

So I make this little picture guide to help me keep things sorted out when looking for the 88 92 98-2K coins. Can anyone verify I've got this...
Funny, I came across this today just shortly after reading this thread. I'm still learning here but it looks to me like this one is the same...
Ok, I've asked here and posted a few times with no success as to finding a dd, this latest find I asked my friend and he said it a was machine...
The one on the left is what I found. The one on the right is listed as 1971S DDO + RPM. I found another site that has yet more images of one that...
can't zoom out any farther with my scope.

Before you say DDD, I can see the DDD. But there's more to it than that no?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If someone had found it MUCH earlier.... Now the damn thing looks like Swiss cheese. Shinny swiss cheese so I'm guessing it's been cleaned too....
Is that why the rot is surrounded by a raised surface? The mint mark itself bears a remarkable resemblance to zinc rot. Is there a way to tell the...
