Thanks sorry I was up late when I first wrote it was asking Double Die Obverse too with the RPM.  Yes I'll check it out. Started as a hobby with my son so still have a lot to learn. I usually look on copper coins but thank you for your answer and I'll check it out as well. Have a great day!

Sorry One more question for this newbie at first I thought this was damaged or is it a strike through just the way it looks underneath the microscopes looks like it was done during the minting process is that correct. Thank you for any response as I deeply appreciate it 

Is this is a d over d only or does it have a little bit of doubling? I found this tonight wheat cent searching rolls. In the third picture that is above the nine in 1957 almost look like they try to punch it here first or is it just a damage mark?

Found this 1998 nickel is this a staple Error ?

Welcome to the forum.  Yes, both cents are large dates, once you get the hang of it the large and small dates are very easy to tell apart.  Your 1912 is a Philadelphia minted coin, that is why there is no mint mark, "V" or Liberty nickel that has been gold plated and really beat up, no errors that I see so really no value there. 

Thank you I thought so just wanted to make sure I appreciate every response. There is so much and definitely a lot to learn and not the fake or over hyped YouTube way that so many do thinking watching a video makes them experts. I appreciate and value any real knowledge and learning through hard work. 

Sorry for the newbie questions however I started coin collecting with my son last year. Like kids often do he told me what I tell him there is no such thing as a dumb question if you learn from the answer. So even though they look different would they both as 1982 d Pennies be considered large dates? They both weighed 3.1gram.  Secondly do you think this 1912 no s mint mark is a error coin (seen in pictures) would be worth sending in. Sorry not the  greatest of pictures yet. Any response is appreciated so, Thank you.
