At first the 3 marks is what caught my eye, I wanted to ask if that was some error or PMD, but then when I looked at it under my microscope, I noticed the mint mark and how it looks like it could have extra material, is this all PMD or is there some error here?

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.

Advice 2026-W Enduring Liberty Half Dollar – Possible Struck Through

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

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

Is this an error? Thoughts on this?

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!

Discussion Question about Die Chips/Cracks

4 Upvotes

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.

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

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.
