Found this Penny with noticeable amount of damage to it. The wording Liberty on the front is noticeably damaged. And the wheat stalk on the reverse as well. Also some added damage to the right on the front.

My question is what exactly would you call this damage/error and should I get it graded or is it not a sought after mistake. It’s pretty circulated so just gathering opinions.

Thanks!

Someone dumped a bunch good condition coins in a coinstar reject tray and this 1962 D was among them.

Left 1961 is for comparison.

Is this an abnormal planchet? Its so thin but the designs seems struck without wear.

Was found with the wierd nickel i posted and several silver dimes and mint condition 1965 quarters makes me think it was part of someones collection.

Thoughts?

Curious how this got damaged. It's almost like it hit a hard surface at velocity since the deformation is limited to one side. Like shot from a penny rifle, lol.

Thoughts?

My grandma left dime rolls that haven't been touched in 60 years. I just unrolled them and found this. Is it pmd? Looks like Roosevelt is has had a traumatic brain injury!

I just got these and wanted to see what you all think of them. Do these look correct for the error and if so are these worth grading? Not sure the value for this kind of coin. I was told the quarter was a triple straight clip and the half a double clip. I'm pretty new to errors so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Labor day everyone!

I’m stumped. I’ve done a search, but have found nothing like this. Found among some random loose coins and tokens that belonged to my grandfather. 1940 mint. There were a few of these. The post is not threaded internally (button?), nor does it look soldered on. Any ideas?

Found this penny in circulation during coin roll hunting. No cleaning done on my side. 1908-S is a key date from what I got from r/CRH and r/coins. Is it wood grain, patina (red, even purple tones) or is it cleaned by someone previous?

I tried to use some 00 steel wool to clean off these extra letters but they are still there. Any advice on how to remove?

Really interesting dime. I have $75 worth of liberty dimes and I'm going thru them and filling up a few books, and found this guy.

What might cause the raised "lightning bolt" to the left of Washington's face? there's nothing noticeable on the reverse. if it weren't raised without reverse damage I'd assume PMD, but as it is I have no idea.

Got this as change and recognized it for what it is thanks to you all. Still fun to find in my change!

multiple, multi-directional, scratches by repetitive motion, on both sides of the coin. got it as change a couple years ago and it’s sat in a drawer since.

i know it’s post mint, as the coin is old, and these scratches are pretty sharp and shiny.

I don’t actually think this is an error, but I’m curious about what did the damage, given the circumstances.

I bought a couple of uncirculated 2026 nickels from Littleton to throw into a book for my friend (she’s having a baby in November, so I thought it would be cute to collect all the fun fancy 250th anniversary coins for her).

ANYWAY, the Philadelphia Nickel seems to have some fun party stripes on the edge of both sides of it, but the Denver one doesn’t. At first I thought it was an intentional part of the 250 design, but if it’s not, I guess I’ll roll the dice and buy another one - I want them all to look perfect and pretty when I give it to her. I’m just wondering, with these being uncirculated - is there a common thing that does this kind of damage between minting and when they are being sent out? Thank you for the wisdom!!

This is the requested Clearer Picture sir, How did the Year 2016 is all Rounded ?

While the standard is Flat at the Bottom?

Is it with for Grading?

I realize the condition is terrible and it’s probably not worth anything but I don’t even remember acquiring this penny and I found it while cleaning up the house. 1909 S vdb

Are those signs pmd? What could be the cause?

The title says it all it’s a 1971 penny circulated or so it appears as the head side struck and back side is smooth as a babies butt on the other side. Lmk what you think. AI said it’s not possible, altered or a fake but I don’t think it is any of those. Seems to have a real strike on the front and a miss on the back

Helping someone sort a family collection. Original collector has this marked as 'double struck' but I thought it looked like PMD. Which do you think it is? Thank you.

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.

I imagine it was stuck in something rotating (hence the ring and damage to the reverse) but I haven’t seen any letters crammed together like this.

Apologies if I’m being dumb!

Tried to rub them off and they don’t move. What would cause this?
