The problem was it was posted here with no problem. I am not speaking about the OP (Dianne) here, in a lot of these posts it seems as if people are looking at their coins for the very first time, and think that everything is an error, a problem, different etc. Look at a million coins, and then you will notice what is normal and what isn't. The mint produces billions and billions of coins in every denomination and have for years. Almost every single one is fine. Some errors get spotted before they enter circulation and are destroyed. But some slip through. 99.9999999999% of all coins fall within the normal spectrum guidelines. These You Tube videos telling people there are treasures in their pockets are basically lies. And then you have the people looking at coins with microscopes who think every tiny 4 atom variation is a new discovery of a doubled die. Especially on the quarters with it's 5 new designs per year.
Michael K is right on the money. (pun fully intended) There is no way I have yet determined to deliver this truth to people adequately that does NOT sound preachy. Rarities are called that FOR A REASON! They are not just floating around out there to be found by anyone. Sorry, they just aren't. YouTubers are lying their butts off to gain clicks. Take it from someone who has literally checked every coin he has EVER received since 1963. Finding errors is RAAAAAAAAAARE! I've never found one. But I've seen literally tens of thousands of "strange".
So true! I have found a couple of clipped planchets (in mint sewn bags so I know they were genuine) when as a kid I wrapped coins for a bank, and that is about it since 1959. Now to qualify that. There are relatively common "errors." Minor cracked and chipped dies are frequent on dimes, for example. A lot of the Presidential dollars have die cracks of various sorts. But the fact that these "errors" are relatively common means they are essentially of no value above face. I sometimes keep them because I like them, but they will never make me any money.
Appears to have been heavily cleaned, wearing away details. What does the obverse look like? I would imagine the same.
