  1. Scratches, dings, distorted letters etc. are all a product of damage as they could not happen during the striking of the coin.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. What you see is a “lil” bit of Machine Doubling. Nice photography though
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Good thinking Roger, look at how much you could save with shipping charges for a bulk submission.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Badly damaged, possibly intentionally There is no possible way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  17. That is a little closer than normal but don't forget, that mm is punched into the striking die so if they got say 800,000 to 1,000,000 impressions, that's how many there would have been out there so it wouldn't be rare.
  18. Unless it was certified, I would stay away from it. It looks different than the one on PCGS website, there would have to be two different sets of dies used for it to be legitimate.
  19. Welcome to the forum It’s hard to sell a coin worth one cent for more than that, suggest spending it.
  20. Not an error, some type of environmental damage. Always show both sides and crop your photos when posting. This can help in determining any error or damage
  21. You didn’t ask a question so I am guessing you are asking about the bubbling on the reverse. That is caused by heat expanding the air between the plating and the core. It is damage, not an error. Also should that coin not be copper?
  22. Agree Just a badly damaged coin worth One cent. And please do not hold coins in your hand. Shoot them on a neutral flat surface.
  23. Welcome to the Forum whatever it is could not have happened during the striking of the coin so no, it is not an error, it is damage.
