r/coinerrors

I was just looking at the penny I got from the mint and I noticed a small raised bump on it. Does this add any value to it?

In between “Trust” and the JS signature. Damage or error or someone put the marks there?

I just bought some coins and found these two in the mix. I’m assuming they are dryer coins. But, having never had one before…just wanted to check with you guys.

I just pulled this from a roll at an estate sale. (Yes really and not a crap screen grab). I see lots of what looks like strike though especially on the back. It looks almost uncirculated. I would welcome any guidance on this.

I wouldn’t post unless I was somewhat sure of it, the two coins have really bold lettering, I know some DDOs are very subtle, so I’m asking yall

Sorting through Grandpa’s coins, most of it was cool historic coins, nothing of crazy high value.

Except this coin did catch my eye. It has a cool inner circle that looks pressed into the centre of the coin, with the F still visible.

I tried searching for examples of similar types of damage, but couldn’t find anything similar. Is it worth looking into?

I got this quarter yesterday and while researching more about while deciding to grade it or not I noticed it kinda looked like the type B variants for P quarter

2000-D Virginia state quarter. The coin does not seem to be thinner in that area, and the details are clearly defined. The obverse is normal. The edge of the coin seems to show that the middle copper layer widens up to the face of the coin at that point.

Just started scoping coins this week. I think this is my first real find. 1972 DDO. I looked at VarietyVista to compare. I've marked what I think are the relevant signs with green lines. If I understand VV right, the only thing odd to me is that it appears to show signs of various die wear stages?

My father left this to us after he passed. I have no clue what it’s worth.

I was showing a friend how to
Look at coins up close with a cellphone and picked a random coin out of her cash register to use and this is what we saw. What kind of error is it? I am new and haven't seen this yet.

I have the great honor of receiving this coin that has doubling in Monticello and united states of America! Should I have this graded? And what is the value?

​

Has anyone seen one like this where the d is extremely close to the 4? Also, is this a repunched mint mark?

Continuing the die error documentation project. This 1870 Indian Head cent has a multi-impression die clash on the reverse — meaning the obverse and reverse dies struck each other without a planchet between them, and they did it more than once.

Two separate transfer zones are visible:

1. The forehead and nose of the Indian portrait are clashed under the C in CENT

2. Feathers from the headdress appear inside the right wreath

Multiple clash impressions on a single die tell us the die pair kept colliding before the Mint caught the problem and replaced or resurfaced the dies. Every coin struck from this pair carries the evidence.

The 1870 Indian Head cent had a mintage of about 5.3 million. Mid-range year, but die clashes like this aren't mintage-dependent — they're production incidents. The standard references don't catalogue these multi-transfer variants, which is why NumisDex is building the record.

Not in any reference. Now catalogued.
