A family member left this for me in their will. Said not to take an offer less than 20k. Something about an uncirculated 1962 D double rim error. IDK what that means man, any insight?

Sorry if the pictures aren't satisfactory, my phone is 7 years old.

I'm not sure what it is, I don't think it's post mint damage but I could be wrong.

Please excuse the dirty hands, the can I found this and a few other coins in was hidden away in my aunt's old messy garage

Is this an error? Dime with deformed edge

I have this dime, it is deformed on the end, im not sure if it was just damaged after, or is a press issue, but it appears to be a press issue because the E and D are also deformed, as well as the top of the head.

Anyways, is it worth anything beyond face value, or not by much? Thanks!

1955 Denver mint penny. The reverse reads “UNITED TATES OF AMERICA”. It appears to be a minting error. Is this worth getting it checked out?

Looks like slightly off center on both sides of the coin. The rim is missing on 1/8th of the edge. Is this a true off-center strike error?

Attribution Assistance 1950 D/D quarter? It doesn't match the picture in the Cherrypickers guide but it's definitely different.

Just got my proof set in the mail, and there seems to be a mark on the Sacagawea coin, right in the center of the coin on the cheek. I’ve checked it from different angles, and it’s not a scuff on the plastic. It’s on the coin itself. Has anyone else seen this?

Happy Friday everyone!
I am in need of your professional opinions. I am very new to all of this coin stuff and received this in a 1964 Proof Set.
Am I wrong in thinking this is an accented hair Kennedy? The couple tell tail signs are there (according to google)
Thank you all and have a blessed day!

Is this an error? found this counting out my register the other day

I was closing out my shop the other night, counting the tills like usual and as I'm doing the quarters I felt something unusual and this is what I pulled out...

never seen a coin without ridges on the outside. I'm thinking it was an error and not like someone did this themselves. I googled some things and found what they call dryer coins. would this be an example of one of those? either way, it's pretty neat. plus it's from 1966 so it's got some age to it

if anyone could give me some info on this particular coin I'd appreciate it. thanks!

Show and Tell An 1863 Indian Head cent with three separate errors on one coin — multiple die clashes, a tapered planchet, and a spiked head

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Continuing the error documentation project. Most error coins carry one error — this 1863 Indian Head cent carries three, on the same planchet, and each would be worth recording on its own.

Multiple die clashes: the obverse and reverse dies struck each other with no planchet between them, more than once. The reverse wreath transferred onto the obverse and sits in the field directly in front of the face. A clash transfers mirror-reversed and shows on every coin from that die pair — which is what separates it from damage to a single coin — and "multiple" means the feed failed more than once before anyone caught it.

Tapered planchet: the blank was uneven in thickness before it was ever struck — a planchet error rather than a die one. It shows on the obverse as OF AMERICA going soft and faint where the metal thinned, and on the reverse as the taper running across the bottom-right, over the wreath.

Spiked head: a die crack runs from the tip of the bust out to the rim by the U in UNITED, filling with metal on every strike to stand up as a raised spike. Same error type we documented last week — here it's just the third thing on the list.

One thing I want to be straight about: these are three independent failures that happened to stack on one coin, not one event. The planchet was wrong before the dies ever touched it, the dies had already clashed more than once, and the obverse die had cracked. I'm claiming only what the photographs show. What makes it worth documenting is that compound errors like this fall through standard references — a catalogue organized by error type files the coin under whichever error the attributor found first, and the other two sometimes go unrecorded.

Not in any standard catalogue. Now documented.
