  1. Not an error, it’s damage. Vending machines will also cause this damage. Crimping machines are usually closer to the rim.
  2. Not an error, it's damage. Looks like it has corroded.
  3. It is a slight MAD (Misaligned Die) . No extra value.
  4. It is worth one dollar, why spend $50.00 on getting it graded
  5. The silver coins would have a S mm and weigh 6.3g Take it out of the 2x2 and weigh it.
  6. Hello again- That is PMD (post minting damage) When you see a coin that has been struck in collar and is out of round, then you know it is damage.
  7. Not an error. that is called a ridge ring caused by die deterioration. Just a die event.
  8. Just some sort of environmental damage. It certainly didn’t happen at the mint whatever caused it. Look up the meaning of Cud when referring to Numisamtics
  9. Scratches, dings, distorted letters etc. are all a product of damage as they could not happen during the striking of the coin.
  10. Welcome to the Forum Your quarter is just damaged. Someone has intentionally removed the reverse and removed the reeding on the edges, that is why it looks smaller. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  11. To be a variety, that would have to be on the working hub that created the working dies. If this was the case, there would hundreds of thousands of them struck so they should be easy to find. If it was caused by Die Polishing, it would not be a variety as that is an acceptable part of minting.
  12. Welcome to the Forum I always get a little apprehensive when someone says "multiple errors" on a coin. It is hard enough to find one true error let alone multiples. When posting, please point out the area you think is an error so that we know what you are referring to. From what I can see, there are no errors on your coin but there is damage like Die Deterioration, Machine Doubling, Plating Bubbles etc. FYI, there are only a limited number of things that can happen during the striking of a coin to cause an error, but there are many things that can cause damage. If you want to know what true errors are, refer to this website which illustrates and explains what is classed as an error. error-ref.com
  13. Welcome to the Forum If they have been circulated, they would be worth 1 cent each. Only if they are high grade or an error would they be worth more.
  14. What you see is a “lil” bit of Machine Doubling. Nice photography though
  15. The value for the two of them is probably less than a dollar. Up to you whether you want to hang on to them or not.
  16. Welcome to the Forum. And your question is? Also in the future, please crop and rotate your photos, this will increase the size of the photo of the coin.
  17. Good thinking Roger, look at how much you could save with shipping charges for a bulk submission.
  18. Yes, do not piggyback on someone else’s thread. It just causes confusion when some one is replying to a question. Perhaps a mod can move it to
  19. One thing to remember, ICCS only grades the Obverse, not the whole coin. Also they will designate a Cameo based on the Obverse only, even if the reverse is non cameo.
  20. That coin on the scale is not the same coin you showed originally. The first coin showing is a Small Date, the coin on the scale is a Large Date. Confusing.
  21. Welcome to the Forum We will need to see both sides ( something that should be done at all times) before determining what the error is. Also it will not be rare or worth a lot of money but will have some value depending on the error.
  22. Are those two different coins? Look like gouge marks. Some may consider them an error but I consider them a part of the minting process as they were not done during the striking of the coin but were intentionally done to the striking die.
  23. At what stage during the minting process do you figure that could happen to create an error. I can’t think of any possible way so that leaves damage as the only option.
