Pictures?

 

I tryed to get as close as I could with my cam,just couldn't see it.but with my glass it's pretty apparent.the U has the tips smashed,the N the top points both have the same and so on,but what makes me think it is the D. I can see the curve in the smash.this is exciting stuff to me!

 

No way to help without pictures. I don't really understand the description either, but pictures are the most important aspect of identifying a coin.

 

Also, Welcome to CT and happy early birthday!

 

Tho is as close as I could get sorry.I hope it helps.

 

This is as close as I could get.

 

definitely a large cent. a troll's favorite! is she glad you felter?

 

Lol yes! And I'm sorry I'm new to the terminology,could you give it to me layman's.

 

I posted the best pic I could get,could you take a look.

 

What you have is a common Split Plating Issue. Nothing major.

If you are thinking it is DD - Doubled Die... then the answer is no

 

Thank you! What are the top 5 things I should purchase to start identifying coins. Cameras,books,ect. I want to get this stuff right and not waste mine or anyone else's time for that matter lol. Thanks again.

Stay away from Youtube!

 

Much appreciated,and that's the first thing I knew not to do. Is that because of misinformation?

 

Yes and no. There are some great youtube videos that explain mint errors and varieties pretty good but I have seen many more that don't.. especially when they try to put a value on them.

 

Are these errors worth money,not that I would sell it,just curious. And I just found a nice 43 steel in a box my wife purchased me for my birthday.pictures coming.

 

The dime is FV, you need to start a new thread for the 1943 steel.
