    All of the coins you are showing are incredibly damaged. You need to start learning the minting process and what errors look like if you’re going to look for them. 99.999% of what you look at will not be an error. You could post these coins for days or just learn what an error is. Here’s a great start:

    I'm on hospice and working on my trying to get some money together to it just do a couple of things before things go sour I'm not really I can't see well enough to do things but I mean yeah I know they were messed up that's what I was saying what in the world happened to them I didn't say they were errors. my cousin passed away a couple years ago and I had all this stuff boxed up in my overtop my garage and when I found out that the cancer had moved to my brain to keep from thinking about it constantly I started going through everything and came across all these coins so I was trying to see if there was anything I could sell that's all but thank you very much

    I don't believe I have enough time to learn all this stuff especially when I'm losing more and more brain cells every day I completely understand what you saying if this was four years ago I would be learning but I just keep getting confused. Thanks
    Thanks looked at it lastnight but I can't learn everything in one night half blind. Needs real books hate electronics. Sorry if my curiosity offended you. I have been searching on and off for 2 months at least 2 hours and night until my eyes are crossing I don't understand what I'm seeing because I just can't see it right I guess even though I've got the magnifying glasses and flashlights and God knows everything else. Have a great day

    I apologize for my shortness. Just my nature. What I'm trying to tell you is that if you take the time to learn what an error actually is, you'll save yourself hours and hours of wasted time.

    There's a good book out there called the Cherrypicker's Guide. It's a handy reference for people who prefer books over electronics. I would recommend it.

    I've tried for months I just I can understand it not by looking on the Internet or looking at a book I've got to find somewhere that will teach me how to do this where I have one on one or one-on-one class you know whatever but I live in West Virginia I won't hold my breath, thanks for advice in any other circumstance that would be good advice for me. I don't post on this site unless I have exhausted everything I can possibly do or look up I can be a little touchy these days. Have a good week I got to take my grandson's puppy out and then I'm going to bed

    None of those were made that way in the mint during striking which is the end of the time period a coin can be described as a mint error or varity, just damage.

    Most of the time it is from dropping coins and a car tire grinds it over the asphalt or gravel and someone picks it up and spends or keeps it . Jim

    My first thought was they had a rough life more so than a mint error...thanks for info.
    Been looking things up having troubles with eye sight even with magnifying glass. I have still tried when I just cant squint anymore I ask someone. working on my bucket list not sure I'm going to have enough time to learn everything I need to learn I am trying to liquidate praying to God that I've got something good somewhere.
