    We get the same question at least once a week..

    Without a picture I already know the answer.
    A true Missing clad layer usually only involves one side.

    Now environmental exposure damaged clad coins and even Nickels will darken when exposed to the elements for a long time.

    Here are many of my metal detected finds

    Hey there. A piece of advice. Always post a photo of the front (obverse) and back (reverse) of any coin you have a question on. Crop and post full image without trying to modifying the coin to take away from the true image. Thank you. Just saving you some time. People cannot answer what they cannot see. Welcome to CT!

    Going to ask a question and no judgement from me as to the answer.... What is your interest in error coins? Is it to collect or to flip? Either way, remember that rare errors are, well, rare. They aren't easy to find. Whether you are collecting or flipping that will remain a constant. If you are collecting there is going to be the thrill of the hunt from looking at rolls. That it takes forever to find somethings won't make a difference, its about the hunt. If you are wanting to flip, it might be easier to study the market, study errors and hunt down well priced examples that you could potentially sell for more.

    In either case its going to be a slow start as you fill in your knowledge gaps. Read, read, read... Ask questions here and listen to the answers.

    You keep all the coins you find?

    No. I take pictures of them for reference. Then I clean them as best that I could. Then they go into the Coinstar machine. Where they go back into circulation to be found and then show up here for someone to ask.. "Is this a mint error?" :hilarious:

    Getting coins circulating takes way too much effort nowadays for most people. For us, no problem

    One of the many beauties of coin collecting is that you are always learning.

    Without even seeing a photo I can tell you is envious damage. You should post photos on CT before you submit so we can tell you about submitting them. It would save you money.
