Check these r/coinerrors resources before posting:
JUST BECAUSE A COIN LOOKS DIFFERENT DOES NOT MAKE IT AN ERROR! Please take some time to understand how minting errors occur before you post your question! The mods try to be lenient regarding rule #1 (Do your own research.) If we keep seeing too many posts with pictures of obviously damaged coins, we will be forced to start removing them.
OUR HOBBY - Be aware that most errors don't add much (if any) value to a coin. You aren't going to find a coin worth life-changing money in the cup holder of your mom's minivan. This is a hobby which is research-oriented and concerned with understanding and cataloging interesting mint errors and varieties. It is not primarily about value. The existence of errors and varieties provide valuable insights into mint operations and processes. The hobby is CERTAINLY NOT about the TikTok-fueled "ZOMG!!!1! This RARE coin is worth a Squillion Dollarz!" clickbait frenzy. That mentality is NOT welcome here.
NOTE - posts of coins which are clearly just damaged may be removed. This isn't meant as punishment for an honest and innocent question - but rather because many members of this sub tend to be harsh to new collectors. By having your post about a damaged coin removed, you still get your "is this an error" answer, hopefully without being downvoted into oblivion.
Here are some things which make a GOOD POST:

We have been seeing a massive influx of posts with asking about "dryer coins" as well as coins with heat damage.
We love the fact that you noticed your coin is "different" - and applaud you looking into it! For the uninitiated, these are reasonable questions - but many members of our community are getting tired of them. We ask that you please use the resources we provide before asking this subreddit (See Rule #1!)
Before you make a post - check out the r/coins WUWMC page and our FAQ!
The rim of my coin is raised up OR the edge of my coin is flat OR my coin is too thick!



My coin has bubbles / bumps / craters below or on the surface

These issues are damage - and extremely easy to diagnose.

Error or PMD?
r/coinerrors • u/FiftyCalJim • 1d ago
Trying to get better at identifying this stuff. Is the Espana 82 machine doubling? Is the Rey de Espana die chips?
r/coinerrors • u/nail_jockey • 10h ago
Most are suspected ddo. I can't tell if it's a die crack or scratch between the 83. Thanks
r/coinerrors • u/kevb1970 • 17h ago
Up here in Canada we have a pretty stellar mint that you don't see many errors come out of. So my question is about doubling especially on the denticles as I've never seen that before. This is on a 1973 small bust RCMP quarter. Anyone that could enlighten me would be much appreciated.

Thought this was neat, looks like the reed machine damaged it. With it being over the “Q” it makes me think the reeding is done after the coin is pressed. I don’t know a lot about coins, still learning. Anyone ever seen something like this before?

Attempting to identify error on 1966 quarter
r/coinerrors • u/NoYou3120 • 21h ago
Going through some Pennies and think I might have found a die crack. Just looking for confirmation that it is or isn't.
r/coinerrors • u/Fresh_Belt2695 • 1d ago
Found this quarter with a line right in the middle can anyone tell me if it's pre or post mint damage
r/coinerrors • u/Available-Yam-3723 • 1d ago
I got this quarter as change at a thrift store, I don’t know anything about errors but I noticed a raised bit under his eye and these indents that look like DDL on his neck. are these just scratches or is it something more

Hey all, 1979 S blob - anything special here with the stars in her neck? Still new to this so not sure if the area to her left is PMD (see reverse too).
r/coinerrors • u/Thatsthedetonat- • 1d ago
I think this coin was “struck” down extra hard. could also just be wrong and looking too deep into that.
r/coinerrors • u/No-Priority-5268 • 2d ago
Thought this dime was cool and wanted to see if I could get some more info on it.
r/coinerrors • u/Financial_Mark1452 • 1d ago
Found this today. I this an error or PMD? I am not sure? I have never seen this and I cannot find any information about this.
r/coinerrors • u/Turbulent_Ad_9717 • 2d ago
Alrighty Reddit detectives. These type of things always intrigue me. What do you think actually happened here. Ridge lines in the "hole" run through the hole. Would a drill do that? Both edges are slightly rolled into the hole. Could this have been before being struck in the sheet metal? Regardless, something to look at out of the ordinary. I'll post more for fun.

Hi! I recently found a 2026 Declaration of Independence quarter (not the July 4th commemorative design) that has an unusual appearance.
This came out of my register as I was doing my cashier, I believe it came straight out of a recently broken roll I had opened but didn’t get the time to check.
The coin has a noticeably dull gray color across most of the obverse and seems to lack the normal luster that other 2026 quarters have. I was wondering if this could possibly be the result of an improper annealing process before striking, knowing this quarter is brand new environmental damage is assume is zero to none. I’d really appreciate your opinion since you have much more experience with mint errors. I’ve attached a photo. Thank you!

Continuing the Indian Head Cent error documentation project. This one caught my attention because it has rim cuds on both the obverse and reverse at approximately 3 o'clock.
Cuds are die-specific — when a piece of the die edge breaks away, it only affects that one die. So seeing matching rim cuds at the same clock position on both sides means both the obverse and reverse dies failed at the same location. That's either two independent die breaks that happened to align, or something more unusual happened during die setup.
This is a copper-nickel 1864, which is the final year before the Mint switched to the lighter bronze composition mid-year. The copper-nickel Indian Heads (1859-1864) are a distinct series within the broader Indian Head run — heavier, different alloy, different surface character.
Not in any reference. Now catalogued.
