Thank you,I kept it thinking it was cool looking.

Yea I was thinking it got hit by a car or something but didn't know for sure.

 

Looks as though it has the startings of a dryer coin.

 

Wow, where do you people FIND this junk?

 

My junk pocket

 

LMBO. He gotcha' @V. Kurt Bellman.

 

The only problem with that is in 20 years when you know a lot more about coins you will go through your 2x2's and pull your hair out trying to find out why you kept it.

 

I was thinking that when I put it in the 2x2 but I don't know what I'm looking for lol

 

I know most things I find are not worth the metal their minted on, but as a new coin roll hunter that's why I come here. So do forgive my ignorance, and my posting of JUNK.

 

You don't need forgiveness hey we all or most of us started the same way, post all you like but try to learn the minting process that will be a big help for you.

If you want to see a really nice collection of error coins, maybe we can get @paddyman98 to post some of his photos.

All that does is make me jealous...

 

Ben, I can't tell you how many 2X2's I wasted when I first started 50 years ago. It's all a leaning curve. Plus I ruined a nice collection of Mexico centavos with one of those cheap PVC laden albums made in Canada many moons ago. And the cheap 20 slot pocket storage pages that turned out hard as a rock and all had to be replaced. Cow pies happen and then we learn how not to step in them.

 

Naa I think he is a night owl now, we do not see him in the daylight anymore.

 

He's hanging around somewhere, just waiting to swoop down on us.

 

Well played...

Still, don't take Mr. Bellman's use of "junk" wrong. Sometimes the truth isn't pleasant, but can be a very good thing if accepted and learned from.

Welcome to the forum, Ben.

 

I'm serious. I look very closely at EVERY coin I get in change, and I NEVER run into damaged coins like I see here literally every day.
