If it is a you say an error, please explain to the less informed of us how this could happen during the striking of the coin. If it is a repunched D by chance, it would be a variety, not an error. When you increase the size of a coin by that much, you can see all sorts of worthless anomalies. If you can’t see an error at 10X max., then it is insignificant as it would not be noted at a TPG.

Duplicate post

Please explain what you see as an error, all I see is a worn 1942 nickel. Perhaps you see something I don’t.

You didn’t finish your question, not sure what you are asking. It just looks like an ordinary quarter worth 25 cents.

Looking at Abe’s forehead, there appears to be some split plating. Whether this has anything to do with it or not, I’m not sure.

Please supply clear pictures of both sides. Nearly every error is one of a kind. There are only certain things that can cause an error during the striking of the coin so what you have must be similar to one of these.There are no undiscovered errors.

Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Just looks like a corroded 1943 zinc plated steel cent to me. Not sure what varieties you are referring to. Also the “ back “ is called the reverse.

It doesn’t really matter how it happened. If it didn’t happen when the coin was struck, then it is damage. Also please do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated. What we need are clear, closely cropped photos for best results.

That’s a one look fake, 100%.

It might be worth a couple of dollars. There were over 392 million minted so they are not rare.

Looks like an early stage dryer coin to me also. Just a damaged coin.

It wasn’t done at the mint, it is a defective planchet from the manufacturer. It is called a lamination due to contamination is the alloy. The reverse looks like a partial grease filled die. Still would have a small premium for an error collector.

Seeing this is on the striking die, there could have been anywhere between 800-900 thousand produced with the mm in that location Punched a little higher than usual but still within tolerance maybe the mint worker was in a hurry to get home.

Nice album coin but certainly not worth the expense of grading.

Agree that the 1991cent looks like a Broadstrike (struck out of collar). If you were to place it over another cent, you would notice that the diameter is larger. Also please start a new post for each inquiry, it gets confusing with more than one topic on a thread.

If you are looking at eBay to buy an ungraded Morgan, suggest posting photos and a link to the posting here and some of are experts may be able to help with the authenticity.

Welcome to the Chat Board You are showing two different coins and state “error”. Please explain what you are considering an error on each coin so we don’t have to go looking for one.

Note that the genuine coin says ”PAT.” The OPs coin says “PATT” Not sure if they would use both spellings or not.

Much better replacement

Nice find but certainly not worth the cost of grading. Even in MS66 R condition they are worth about $12-13.00 and yours is not near that. Put in a 2x2 and keep as a nice example

I voted #4. You can immediately dismiss #1,2 and 5 and possibly debate #3 and4

One of the problems is that many sellers are uninformed in the world of Numistatics and see something online and believe they have that rare coin. That is why there are dozens of listings like this on eBay everyday from first time sellers. Although you will find some informed scammers. trying to take advantage of the uniformed buyers. I have seen several cases on the various coin forums where someone has bought a damaged coin and thought they had bought a rare error. eBay policy states that you can ask up to $2500.00 for an uncertified coin as long as it is not misrepresented.

If I was to look at that coin without the label showing, I would say it was MD. There is no sign of a serif on any of the doubled letters and then devices look reduced.
