  1. Grease filled die. Not really filled enough to add any great value.
  2. It's neither Double Struck or a Doubled Die. Just looks like minor Machine Doubling
  3. The fact that there is a rim on only one side tells you it has been intentionally ground. There is no other way for this to happen.
  4. Not an error. The D has a broken post which fills the middle and as stated , the rings are from a coin rolling/wrapping machine. There are probably two of these on the ends of any machine wrapped rolls. Spend it, there is no extra value.
  5. Welcome to the Forum. Please supply pictures along with your questions. It helps us in knowing what your referring to.
  6. “Buy the book before the coin.” In other words know what you are doing before jumping into this hobby. It can be costly if you don’t.
  7. PMD ( Post Minting Damage) Jfantnj- Everything you have been posting is just circulation damage of one sort or the other. Things like gouges, dings, scratches, broken letters, worn letters etc. are nearly always damage. It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin. Instead of looking at everything as an error, look at it as damage and then ask yourself is it possible for this to happen when being struck. Most of the time the answer will be no. Look up one of the several websites on what an actual error is and you will see the difference. One that I use is “error-ref.com” It’s a lot of reading but also a lot of information.
  8. Welcome to the chat box. Correct terminology is Doubled Die. Please post a clear picture of both sides of the coin you are referring to. We need something to look at. Many times Machine Doubling is mistaken for a DD.
  9. It’s a Die Chip, called a BIE because it looks like an I between the B and E. No extra value.
  10. Not considered an error. No extra value.
  11. It is damage. It is not always necessary to know how it happened for unless you were there at the time, you may never know. What is important is to know how coins are minted and there is no way that could happen when the coin was struck so the only alternative is that it is damage.
  12. Hello "Newbie" Welcome to the Forum. There are many knowledgeable members here who can help with any questions you may have.
  13. Deleted my previous post until I do a little more research. Don’t want to give out wrong info.
  14. If you are referring to the date, that is Machine Doubling
  15. The Mint tolerance for a clad dime is +- .09 so anything between 2.18 and 2.36 is acceptable. The silver proof dimes weigh 2.5g but they would have an S mint mark.
  16. I like the one where the Bison is hanging upside down like a Sloth
  17. A hand punched Mint Mark cannot be a DD. It is as stated just a die break which is a large die chip
  18. All just common circulated nickels worth five cents each. They would have to grade high MS to have any value.
  19. That could not have happened during the striking of the coin so it has to be damage.
  20. Hard to grade from those pictures but the value in that condition would be 1 cent. There were 150 million produced and even in uncirculated condition they are only worth a couple of dollars Just Bob beat me by seconds. (gonna have to learn how to type faster, still using two fingers) Glad we both have the same opinion
