Post your error coins

The first, I think is a struck through thread or wire.

The second, I believe are just hits (if incused). I can't tell from the pics. Are the dots raised or incused?

Personally, these are pretty minor and I hope you didn't get them slabbed just for that. The cost of slabbing really wouldn't be worth it.

Parts of the dots are indented, the other parts raised. Noone seems to know what they are, but the coin got a high grade from PCGS so I don't think it's damage. It was $50 to send it back to PCGS (they were already slabbed as 1st strikes)... I thought that I should since the error was on one of the reverse proofs. Both of these pics are of the same coin.

 

I just got about 30 1997 Lincoln's LIKE NEW in a CWR myself. Wonder where they came from?

 

I wonder if these error types come from some adventurous soul at the Mint that wants to make collectors' lives more interesting? Could someone 'seed' the feeder with pre-struck coinage?

How else would this happen?

 

Forgot to add the image earlier....

 

That is not an error.. PMD
Damaged!

 

That does happen sometimes, see the dime struck on nail!

 

Does this horrible fake count as an error or just pathetic ?-)

 

I'll go with pathetic haha

1965 SMS Quarter on a Five Cent Planchet??? Maybe?

Hi, I am completely new to this website, to threads and really to the coin world itself. I have been getting into coins within the last 6 months....long story short, I've been starting to pay attention to my change etc and today I got this 1965 quarter at a local liquor/convenient store. It just looks sooo different, feels different and plus the lettering looks off. I thought it could've been a nickel planchet error but maybe you guys could be the judge (the best you can from a picture)! Any way to weigh it or any significant signs to look for?Thanks...

 

Welcome to CoinTalk
If it were struck on a Nickel Planchet the diameter would be smaller. Looks like it's been circulated enough to wear the clad surface. It's sooooo old that this would occur.
IMHO it's just a plain old quarter.
