I was looking through some coins that my dad acquired years ago. He doesn't remember where he got them. They are in the tiny little paper envelopes people keep coins in sometimes. They are Jefferson nickels, and the envelopes are labelled: 1955/5 Last five doubled Double profile and dome, extra step, whiskers, etc. Cracked skull Filled R in LIBERTY When I look at them with my loupe, I think I can see what the labels are referring to. I can definately see the doubling on the dome and profile. Are these errors? Are they valuable? Thanks.
I had to use 10x magnification to see the doubling, so I doubt my scanner will show it. But, I'll try to post pics tommorrow. Thanks.
Adam: All of the 'errors' that you listed are probably considered real errors. However, the question is value. Most are only worth a few cents.
Scan your pics at 300dpi, then crop the pics and post the cropped pictures. It'll show. I'm asking for pics it may be something as simple as mechanical doubling or a poor man's DDO. The others I am reasonably certain will be a die crack and grease filled die or die chip.
