<p>[QUOTE="Nu2Coins, post: 1260522, member: 32985"]I am new to coin collecting, and I inherited a large load of coins. The relative who left me these coins had a bunch of old books from the 60s that look like magazines that highlight error coins. I had no clue (nor did anyone else) that she was a coin collector. She left a handwritten list of many coins listed as errors in the older wheat and indian head cents but nothing on the nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars. I have this 1951 coin that has a mishapen bur on the rim. Under magnification, it is not something that happened before the coin was made and looks like a piece of metal was crushed into the rim's edge of the coin when it was first made. Is this considered an error coin and worth anything other than just the 50 cents face value? Sincerely[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
