    First one looks like a blob of extra metal on the date.

    Last: Struck through something or a gouge?

    Are these worth anything, or just nice novelties to have. Never really dealt with errors.

    I don't know too much about errors, but if you're asking opinions, I think the last two look more like post mint damage.

    With circulated wheat pennies, it's hard to tell sometimes, though.

    First one I think is a die chip
    second one looks like a filled die on the I in Liberty
    Third one is a die crack with a chip also
    Fourth one maybe the result of a weak strike and post mint damage a little hard to tell from the picture.
    last one looks like damage to me

    None of them actually would add much value based on the condition of the coins and the type of error,, although they are fun to find .

    Kinda what I figured. It is fun finding them, as you said. Did find a few more while going through the rest of my wheats, about the same kind of stuff. Thanks for the responses.

    No problem, I have collected several hundred cents ,Dimes, quarters,half dollars with different Die cracks and other anomolies, not much value but they all interest me.

    Heck, I enjoy keeping the ones that are damaged post-mint in ways unknown, too. The only exceptions are those with the different core material when they've been scraped rough and both colours show. :rolleyes:

    the first pic just looks like some type of heavy abrasion or wear.
