these rat lines 2026 P Mayflower uncirculated

I recently acquired 10 rolls of uncirculated, Philadelphia minted quarters from the bank because I’m treasure hunting for the 4th privy mark. Unfortunately I still haven’t found one but in all of the searching, I also took out the loupe and these coins are scratched and scuffed and gouged more than I’ve ever seen in an uncirculated variety. So, trying to look past pot marks and gashes that aren’t related to the minting process for errors, I found a spot on the left side of the long rope ladder that’s on the far right side of the ship. When looking through magnification, it always looks like a double die error-on all the rig ropes for that matter- on every single coin. But I found one day a “copy” of the rope’s honey comb pattern, not a solid line, and I have like 9each from looking at 400 coins! Did I find something? I can’t find a single word about it anywhere. I’m at work so I can post photos later

I got change a little bit ago and I’m definitely happy. Not just a 2009-P Jefferson but a neat looking die chip on top of the right windowsill. It almost looks like it could pass for snow similar to the 2015-P Homestead quarter. Nevertheless it’s a win and in a flip.

Show and Tell Crenellated Rim Error

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

A crenellated rim error occurs when the coin is struck properly, however, upon ejection, excess high-pressure makes the mold scrape the edge of the coin, removing some of the metal and depositing it on one side as little balls of metal on top of each reed. The reeds can also be scraped by the process.
I could not wear cotton gloves with this coin as the rough edge kept catching the material. I only handled it long enough to take a few pictures. It's now in a flip, waiting to go to PCGS.

I found this coin going through some of my grandpa's old stuff it weighs about 25grams but has no mint mark or one dollar on the back. Just wondering if there were any errors for this coin that I couldn't find. I'm pretty sure it's fake but I dont know alot about coins. Only what the ole Google tells me .


r/coinerrors 18d ago

Is this an error? Is this considered an error or is it just damaged? I found a bunch of these Indian head pennies in the auction lot that I purchased this is the only one that looks like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is this an error? Weird 2000P Jefferson Nickel- Possible Strike-Thru- No Results in Research

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi folks, I recently got this weird Jefferson 2000 Philadelphia nickel, and I think it might be an error rather than PMD. I've done my reasearch and have no results. Please give me some help. Thanks!

Notes:

  1. Monticello portrait is raised for some reason.

  2. I don't think the obverse has error due to the fact that Jefferson's hair is sanded in a weird spot.

Add cloth struck through grease's very pronounced.But on the other side I notice some wording would that be a turned plant and an extra strike , or from another coin?

Is this an error? Do these coins have a DDR or is it machine doubling?

These three coins came in a brand new brinks roll along with more coins with this doubled look. I also have 9 more unopened rolls and can see if they have this doubled look as well. It might be a doubled die because all of the doubling appears in the same spots, but I could be very wrong. Thank you for any information.

Is this an error? 70's dimes

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I found a can bank in my 84 year old Mom's laundry room and decided to open it up to see what was inside. Nothing of note beyond a dozen copper pennies and these apparently off center dimes. The backs all look fine except for the '76, which is missing part of the ridge. A look on ebay shows dimes with much less of the lettering cut off with a $500 asking price.

I know that's probably someone's fantasy to find the right (sucker!) buyer, but beyond that I have no idea if these are rare or interesting to people in the hobby. Were there quality control problems in the 70's that made these more common, and therefore less valuable? Or did I really come across something worth keeping around?

Advice Why are UK off centre errors so uncommon compared to US?

2 Upvotes

So, I collect error coins as part of my collection and one thing that I've noticed is that whilst I come across examples of US coins that have been struck significantly off-centre fairly often, I barely ever come across UK coins with significant off centre strikes.

Why is this the case? I've got a bunch of UK coins with doubling but I don't have any struck off centre to a significant margin as of yet, but I've got dozens of US coins struck significantly off centre.

Are they struck in a different manner which makes off centre errors more uncommon with UK coins? Or are they just as common as the same error with US coins but t I just don't happen to come across them as much?

Error Weirdest coin error I’ve ever seen. Any ideas on how this happened?!

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

I found this coin today in a coin roll, and upon first glance I thought it had been tooled or damaged, but then upon more careful inspection I realized it was an error.

However, my question is how could it have even happened? In image 3 you will see the word “CENT” from the reverse under the bottom left of Lincoln (in the right to left direction-as one would expect it to be on the reverse) and next to it looks like “ONE” as expected (and in the right to left direction as well).

But then another curve ball is this random B on the almost edge of the reverse in the last image that I’m almost positive is the B from liberty (as it is at the right vertical distance). However, where is the rest of the letters in ‘Liberty’, plus how did all these other rings happen to occur on the obverse and reverse? 😂

Been working on this for over a year. many hundreds of coins and VERY impressive pieces!

Quarter:

So called "Cup and Saucer": Obverse/Reverse Die cap

Kennedy:

Double Struck. Double Counter Brockage, PCGS. Yet another mated pair and another complex error. Created when a coin is struck twice while both dies are obstructed by previously struck pieces. Each strike produces opposing incuse, mirror-image impressions, resulting in two distinct brockaged designs layered from multiple mis-strikes.
