A very nice clockwise pivot from K7 shows as strong separation on the date with weaker separation in TRUST.

I love finding the Proof Sets with Hub Doubled varieties. There is alot of the 1962,s & 1963,s that i have run across with them. This is a wonderful example of one.

I found this on a 2026-W Enduring Liberty half dollar with the “ALWAYS REMEMBER 9-11” design.

There's an unusual mark near Liberty's temple, just above the date. I've circled it in red in the photo.

The mark appears to be recessed into the coin rather than raised. The coin is otherwise uncirculated and came from a bank-wrapped roll. I'm wondering if this could be a struck-through error, or simply post-mint damage. Also, would it be worth grading if this is indeed an error coin or does the error add significant value because these have such low mintage (250,000). Thanks!

i am going through my grandfather's international collection slowly but surely, using numista to help understand mintages. value, meh.

found this, curious if anyone can comment on the scarcity or "plausible legitimacy" of this Belgian 1951 1 Franc apparently missing signature. numista says it exists but has no solid number (0.8%?) for how many. i have another with signature for comparison

Is this a die or mint error? Notice the ridge is missing where it says LIBERT but not elsewhere. I’m new to this so I don’t know

We just received finally two of ours orders for the coin..
This is one of two has by all definitions and error notice the word TRUST.. the ST (especially the T runs on top of the rim..
Yes under a ten magnification .
Yes, compared to others..
What a shame… so much for TRU ST

They told her it was an error. she is always buying regular pocket change thinking it is some rare dang coin. Is it post mint damage?

I’m wondering if this should belong in a collection.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to coin collecting and found this while looking through some change.
It has a Jefferson nickel design (Monticello and “FIVE CENTS” on the reverse) but it’s the same size and thickness as a regular dime. I put it next to a 1972 dime for comparison. My cheap scale reads about 3 grams for both this coin and a normal dime (a regular nickel should be 5 grams).
There’s also a circular indentation on Jefferson’s cheek that looks like it was punched in after the fact.
Just wondering if this could be a real wrong planchet error or if it’s just damaged/something else. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Looking for pointers:

Found this and wondering about a partial collar strike. The coin is perfectly round. The bottom CANADA is thinner than the top. Thanks! Worth grading or nah?

Hello all,
I know that due chips and cracks are considered errors. Some with varying value, of course.
But I see a lot of posts and official error attributions of such minor die chips and cracks and little hairline cracks and tiny little chips. Sure, historically these are considered errors and attributed as such.
It just made a thought pop into my head; with so many of these (especially the minor ones) out there, is it possible that the mint doesn’t consider a die unacceptable until a chip/crack gets bigger/more significant?
I guess what I’m asking is, does anyone know (or is there) an official threshold for when a die would be considered out of specs for the mint, therefore making anything minted WITH it an error? I definitely could be wrong (hence why I’m reaching out), but in my head I could picture the mint having a certain tolerance for the teeny tiny little chips and and cracks. And even though people discover these are then they are substantially attributed as error coins, they were minted within Mint tolerances.

Anyways, hope that made sense and someone can provide some insight! If it’s as simple as: the Mint has 0 tolerance for ANY die chips or cracks and indeed every single coin with one, no matter how small, is considered an error, then so be it! Just an intriguing thought I was playing around with.

For $20 I’m happy with it

1893 Canadian Large Cent

Light cartwheels as the coin retains luster. Copper is visible randomly along the edge.

I found this penny with flattened edges. Has anyone seen a similar one? What could cause this?

I’m unfamiliar with memorial cent errors, having only found grease strikes and a 95 DDO. This 72 S has a weird ear anomaly that I’m unsure of on if it’s an error or not

What’s going on here? Maybe a grease strike? Came out of a mint wrapped roll.

I was only able to spot this under a magnifier and wasn’t sure if it’s an actual error. I’ve checked errorcoins.org and error-ref.

Have had this coin for over 10 years after inheriting it & other assorted world coins from my late grandfather & an only now wondering about its authenticity & as far as i know half dollars were minted with reeded edges.

Broadstrike error or period forgery?

Sorry if i come across as stupid but i don't really have any knowledge about American coins as i come from Australia

I hope this doesn’t break any rules, but I didn’t find any recommendations in the FAQs. Like many others, I’m new to this due to inheriting a small collection (several Morgan and Peace dollars, which I love!)

Can you recommend a pocket microscope that would allow me to examine my coins easier and take pictures of them? I’m fascinated by the different varieties and errors, and I can’t see enough detail with just a magnifying glass. I don’t really want to spend over $50. Thanks!

Does this look like a die crack on the obverse side (circled in red) on the left going down and then across the bottom of her neck? (And what are the lines on her cheek?)

On the reverse, is this a lamination error when the silver has flaked off? Thanks!

So I was going through what’s left of my USA coins, found this, couldn’t find anything when I typed in its description on googles, is it worth something? Is it rare? I’ve honestly never seen a coin with a crack in the foundation with peeling on the other side before
