error dime with no reeding.

 

That sounds great,i some times buy 6 rolls but have been that lucky on dimes or nickels

 

I've gotten a handfull of grease struck coins...all State Quarters. I also got a Guam quarter with a major die chip a few months ago...

 

that sounds good ,do you know much about error pennies such as 1971s d/d,in color die from red to almost purple,but only half the penny karl

 

I've found a capped die strike error in a cent roll once, but thats about it.

 

Actually just started looking since joining the forum & found nothing yet , my family is wondering why I'm carring a 10x loop and checking everyones change lol, lol, lol

 

hi i was in germany several years ago,and bought a coin with hitlers face and the swatztika on back at the time the man stated that it is really but they where circulated, and lord and behold i was in colorado springs in the numismatic store and found one in there if i can post it i will

 

any coins with Hitler on them are fantasy coins, he was never on a coin.

 

I found a 1995 doubled die in a bag of pennies.
I also found a Louisiana quarter with a really strange-looking obverse-- it looks like a thin cloth had come between the die and the planchet during striking.
It probably isn't much, but I also found a very nice 1982 zinc cent that has raised lines that look like rays around the word LIBERTY, from breaks in the die I would assume.

And while I didn't get it from a bank, I found a late stage die cap error cent in a bag of foreign coins that I had bought.

 

Thanks,the wayi understand it their where some but never circulated i saw one at the numismatic store in colorado spring and they said,the same thing but i really dont know thanks for your reply

 

......my brother found a jefferson nickel capped die that i sent to coin world. they actually did a story on it in the may 18th 2009 issue in the collectors' clearinghouse segment.

.....the story can be found in the online CW archives.

 

That's a nice example! Is that a "struck through capped die" or a "capped die" - looks like it was struck by a capped die?

2002 Louisiana quarter

These scans don't really do it justice, but here are a couple of pics of the Louisiana quarter I mentioned upthread. Does anyone have any idea what could have caused the obverse strike to be so weak and bumpy?

 

Thats a good find,if i can take better pict.i share them with you

 

Well, I'm glad you like it. I'm wondering if it may be a very late stage die cap? After comparing with the picture of the die cap nickel, my quarter seems to show a similar surface, except that it is much less defined.

I'm sure glad I looked at both sides of the quarter. It was in a bag of other quarters that I was going to deposit in my bank account, and I decided to give the bag another look before heading over to the bank.

 

It never hurts to check it again,i have lots of time on my hands so thats what i do good luck

 

I found my current avatar, a 19XX Lincoln cent (pre-1993) with a late-stage die cap and intruding planchet in a bank box of cents.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the Wide AMs posted earlier in this thread are a die variety and not an error.
