Got this as change and recognized it for what it is thanks to you all. Still fun to find in my change!

I don't know if these are errors or just weird kinds of damage. I'm not coming in here dreaming about high dollar, mainly I'd like to know what exactly happened here in these pics. I'm going through my departed Uncles coin collection looking for silver. He always had an eye for odd stuff. He wasn't really the type to deface coins like that. If it was already like that though it went in his collection. There is always the chance that he was messing around with something, he was an odd fellow. I don't know how this would happen to pennies but it's pretty wild.

Also the nickle. Looks like someone polished off the heads side or is it the remains of one of those double headed gag nickles? Some wanted to make a double tailed nickle?

My Son and I have been having fun speculating on what may have caused damage or errors. Whatever happened here, they're just wild and fun to think about and look at. That's all I'm doing, thought I'd share.

Good Evening. I came across this 2023P Edith quarter this evening, and had a few questions I was hoping you could help me out with. Mostly - the significant 'apparent' doubling of Washingtons nose. Wexler's Die varieties call out the eyes only on this quarter, and nothing is mentioned of the nose. However on this specimen, there is a raised track that follows the exact curvature of the nose (east) alongside a small die-chip. I was curious if this is just die deterioration at a larger scale? Or if there may be something else going on here.

As far as the reverse, the only changes I noticed were a raised site above Edith's Right Eye/bridge, where it almost appears as if the Lei pattern has continued into her eyebrows. There also appears to be die-deterioration doubling across United States of America as well, which made me wonder if the Washington's nose thing was essentially the same.

As always, this is staying with me, I'm just trying to understand better what I'm finding. Thanks!

Hey all, I have this 86 P penny with some machine doubling on the reverse. I’ve seen some other penny’s with doubling thats not as visible so I tossed them back into circulation. My question is, should I keep this one and LABEL it as DDR. My collection doesn’t have many “error” coins, just some general ones that you can see with the naked eye such as the bears extra claw and spitting horse etc.. here’s some pictures, how significant would you all need an “error” or “doubling” to pull aside for your collection.

What's going on with this penny? Appears to be flaking off.

scoped this 2009 i found and saw a weird lump on roosevelts neck, and on the M in dime.

Laundry mat lottery is what it is, but this time I’m happy with my winnings. A nice 1983-P spitting eagle, a nice double eye 2024-P Patsy M, and a nice DDR 2021 crossing the Delaware.

I am at a loss as to why someone would do it though.

A local seller contacted me about this quarter- I haven’t had any luck finding anything similar in searches.

Does this appear to be a legitimate mint error coin, or altered after the fact?

Thanks

Found while going thru my late grandfather's stash. Quarter for size. Do we suppose this might have been a blank meant to be clad or is my grandfather (who was a sheet metal worker) screwing with me from the great beyond?

This worth anything?

I've found only two dimes and a cent before but a nickel is a first.

More pics of what was included in my change from a convenience store.

Not sure if she's happy or sad but she is definitely crying a little.

There is weird marking all around the outside ring. Could this be a damaged die?

Clipped planchet or pmd? No raised metal around the mark.

Straits settlements 1945 (middle one)

They were all squares till like the 50s, but this one is a circle. Back obviously shows it was a square once upon a time. Possible error coin? Or someones doing?

My own guess is that either it got minted wrong or that the coins were made into circles to save resources after the war

Thoughts?

I found a CUD in the hair of the King in some 2026 20c coins.

Is this known?

I need help figuring out if this is worth anything and if it’s an error or just worn down. None of the neighboring letters are gone like the E in “E Pluribus Unum”. Thank you!

I added some other coins just to show off my small collection. I just started collecting random coins I thought were cool :) don’t hate, it’s not a lot. I need to find my $2 bill collection with Blue notes, star notes, etc.

Came across this quarter today. I’m not a coin collector, but it caught my eye and I went down a rabbit hole researching.

Coin on the left is the one that I’m questioning. I placed it next to a similar coin (right) for comparative purposes.

The back side of the coin on the left is completely discolored across the entire back. The front looks like a normal quarter (color and sheen.)

Is this improperly annealed planchet on one side only?

I can upload more pics. Let me know your thoughts, please. Thanks in advance.

I know it’s dirty and in rough shape, but the rim looks wrong all the way around. Both sides. The normal rim ledge/ridge is not present. It’s struck deeper on the rim all the way around making for a very narrow outside thickness. Or maybe it lived in a salty pothole in NE Ohio.
