Hello, I have a copy that has multiple errors. Note the number 8 behind the number 4 in the date, as well as other errors. Is this valuable, how much is it worth, and is it worth documenting? Thank you.

   Based on this and your previous topics, you appear to believe that if something looks unusual about a coin, it is a mint error. In fact, significant mint errors are rarely found among circulating coins or random accumulations of coins. The types of errors that can occur during the production of coins are limited, while the types of damage and alterations that can occur to coins after they leave the mint are infinite. 

   You may benefit from the following recent article by a prominent coin dealer: Jeff Garrett: Fake News and Misinformation in Numismatics | NGC (ngccoin.com).

   To learn about types of actual mint errors and how they occur, see, for example, the following:
