I would appreciate help in identifying the type error these coins have. This is a coin from Mexico. This is a steel coin.
The steelie is PMD, detracting from it's value. The other coin while interesting, I think it is also PMD but I don't know.
The steel cent is not a mint error, it's damaged. Who?, what?, when?, where?, and why? are impossible to answer.
Ok, thanks. I didn't pay extra for them but the grandfather apparently did. The peso looks like an extra layer of metal which has been chemically treated. The penny looks odd but it is on both sides. Couldn't understand how the front to back could mirror each other.
I'm wondering if the deceased grandfather wasn't trying to manufacture his own errors. I was feeling sorry for the old man for poor purchasing. My husband is a welder and says the peso looks like a section of can or the lip on old oil can was heated and laid across the peso. He agrees about the wire cutters. I may need to start a new collectible section called "faked errors" or "errors wannabes". Ha
You'd get a lot of pictures because everybody wants to find something and post everything scratches to bent coins to coins ground down to nothing.
