<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fooldumb, post: 83653, member: 4517&quot;]well I was going through my change tin and noticed that one of my pennies had an abnormally deep face this piqued my interest and after going through the rest I found 4 other similiar irregularities from different decades. So it can&#039;t be that unusual. I haven&#039;t been able to find any information on the errors and so was wondering if you could give me some more input. All errors are on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>1984 top left appears to have been punched slightly harder.</p><p><br /></p><p>1973 obviously puched harder on the left hand side. face is flater on the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>1968 A very deep punch all the way around, also appears to be offset slightly to the right. This is the coin that first caught my attention. I have a second 1968 that appears to exhibit similiar charateristics but is too damaged to make any real comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>so I have a few questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are these really considered errors?</p><p>Where can I go to read more about these errors on my own in the future?</p><p>What makes an error rare/valuable?</p><p>Is there a place where I can read more about double dies and the like in more layman terms?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for you input in advance.</p><p>Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
