Generally I look over all my coins but recently I've been really eyeing them like a collector. I here of so many types of coins that at first I ignored them and just collected by year. Now though I'm checking for any little variance.
Towards the end of December I found this dime in my piggy-bank(not actually in the shape of a pig).
Notice the arrows are pointing at some raised metal that forms a crack or lightning bolt shape.
Upon closer inspection there are actually two cracks.This is an authentic error.
It is called a die crack because the die used to press the coin cracked and transfered the results on this and probably thousands of others before a mint inspector noticed.
The error coin book classifies this as II-D-1 Die Crack (W), the W stand for "wear" meaning that is how the mistake was formed. This classification is for three or less cracks that don't span the coin.
This particular error is not rare so the value is only twice the face value with only these minor cracks.
Here's the stats...
Type: 10 Cents / II-D-1 Die Crack /2 "light" cracks(1 from rim to center)
Year: 1983-P
Mintage: 647,025,000
Metal: 75% copper 25% nickel(Outer Layers), 100% copper(Inner Core)
Value: EF-40 $0.50
Because the coin is in quite a nice state it may be worth $0.25 and double it for the die crack for a grand total of $0.50. Not much but the first error of this type I recognized and kept.
Do you have an odd coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
i have this container that i keep coins in. these coins are usually forign coins that i picked up somewhere, but dont know what they are. I thought it was empty, until i opened it. when i did i found a

Hi! I stumble upon a 1905 one cent piece and I was wondering it's value?

Hi! I have obtained a "1989 D" dime that has something embedded in it. It clearly shows on both sides and I was hoping you could give me an estimate on it.

These planchets have gases trapped between the core material and the plating.
Yours is not in great shape plus these aren't really big amongst collectors.
It is only about $2.00, I'd hang on to it because the error coin market goes up and down fast.
okay,Thanks!

1970 dime with bubbles
ReplyDeleteIf the bubbles are small the are caused by dirt. If the bubble is big it is caused by heat.
The problem is that anyone with a blowtorch can fake this coin error. Either way it is worth at most $2.00 but most likely it does not any extra value. Sorry.
Hi I found a 2002p dime with the face side appearing to be all copper and the back silver. Could this be worth something?

On the edges it's normal but on the face of the coin is a plating error worth less then $25 unless it is full-copper face.

ReplyDeleteIt's not a good photo but from what I can see it is not anything significant.
As for the 2007 error it sounds the same. No extra value.
Maybe it is some kind of doubling but it is not a true error.

I have a 2000 dime that I have a question about. On the front, just under the chin, is a "bubble". All the printing is readable. On the back, it is the same.

ReplyDelete2000 dime that I have a question about. On the front, just under the chin, is a "bubble"...the dime is dark, and needs cleaning.

ReplyDeleteThis is a Kwangtung Pattern coin from either 1889 or 1890 it seems to be the 1 dollar coin and is about $12,000.00.
The problems:
-Yours has been badly cleaned which ruins the value.
-Nearly all examples found are fakes. They weigh about 25.8 grams and are silver but counterfeiters have become so skilled that they can fake both of those. Cleaning a fake coin is a way of getting around detection.
Judging by the scratches, pits, and edge I think fake but you may want to verify first to see if it's silver then to see by a dealer if it is real or not.
Additonally Google "kwangtung pattern" without the quotes and in a coin community forum you'll see a good discussion about these pieces.

The only coin I know from 1945 with a ship on the back is a Canadian dime.

ReplyDelete1998 dime and the edges on both sides are raised, if you look at it from the side it looks as thick as two dimes together but the center of the coin has the thickness of one.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a finned rim or high fin.
Ungraded it's about $25 but these types need grading but can get damaged before grading.
They are very delicate if true finning and that is why they can sell for hundreds.
i recently found a 2002D nickel with Jefferson's on both side,,,, how can i tell if it is authentic and how much its worth
ReplyDelete2002D nickel with Jefferson's on both side,
ReplyDeleteThis type of error is not possible.
Under high magnification where the rim of the coin meets the field of the coin you will see a gap where someone drilled and glued two coin into one. These are magician's coins sold at toy stores, I own a few of these.
If you still suspect this is real take it to a coin dealer or coin club.
It would cost you $40 to have it graded and most likely it would be rejected as a fake.
thanks for the 411

HELLO,i have been going through my coins as well and believe i have found one of these,its a 1992 or 1998 dime,(cant quite tell what the last number is because of the edge), it has an unusual raised flat copper looking rim and appears as if a penny rim was placed over a dime but u can tell its one piece,the center is setting below the rim on both sides with a mint mark of P on it.
Im curious if you can tell me more about this and how to go about maybe selling it for an appropriate price and if so what that price might be for it. thanks

ReplyDeleteThe copper is the core of the clad dime.
It sounds like a finned rimmed, possibly a braodstrike, but most likely some sort of Off-Center error either way I can't fully judge and most likely a dealer would need to see it in hand.
Around $20 if it's not damage more if you you can the error identified. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful but it's a hard error to imagine.

ReplyDeleteYour pic are very blurry. Is the edge smooth or ridged like a normal dime?
I can't see the edge but it looks like someone spooned the coin. This is when a person takes a spoon and smashes the edge in order to make a ring then later they drill out the center. Damaging it and leaving no value, except for a nice copper-nickel ring.
Nice buck.
ReplyDeleteno its smooth and slightly rounded, i had to use my cell phone to take the pics,it doesnt appear to be machined in any way
ReplyDeleteno its smooth and slightly rounded,
ReplyDeleteThat is the definition of spooned.
A true Finned Rim would have the reeds. Any other type of in-collar error would not have rounded edges.
Here are 2 links on how to make a ring and the signs of a failed attempt like the one I believe you have.

If you still feel it is an error try getting better pictures or visiting a coin club or dealer in person.

ReplyDeleteit dosent look damaged its perfectly round and smooth
ReplyDeleteThat is what leads me to believe it is damaged as errors would not be perfectly round or smooth.
A Broadstrike error would be out of shape and tapered.
This sound like spooning, which is when someone smashes the edges usually with a spoon in order to make a ring.

ReplyDeleteHi, I found a 1988 p dime that appears to have 2 ridges around it on both sides of the coin. Would this be an error in the coin, and if so would there be any value in keeping it?

It's about $1.00 at most.
If I found out more info I will post it.
Hi I found a 1970 Dime with a P stamped right above the date. I was under the impression that this is Philly coin, but it is my understanding that they did not use the P stamp until later?? Can you enlighten me?
ReplyDelete1970 Dime with a P stamped right above the date. I was under the impression that this is Philly coin, but it is my understanding that they did not use the P stamp until later?
ReplyDeleteYou are correct the P was not added until 1980 so this is some type of out of mint altered coin.

I have a 1967 roosevelt dime that appears to be all copper. It is in perfect condition, no wear on either side and is less than half the thickness of a regular dime. Can you tell me if you have seen one like it and what it might be worth?
ReplyDeleteI have a 1959 penny that shows very little or no wear on either side but is half as thick as a regular penny, is smaller in diameter than the regular penny missing most of the rim around the outside and the IN GOD WE TRUST on the face side is very close to the edge of the coin. Have seen one like it? Can you tell me if it has more value than a penny?

ReplyDeleteSounds damaged, a coin can not get stamped without a rim, if not it would get bigger not smaller.
Only other option is to have an expert look at it in hand.
i hav a 1960 dime with a smooth edge is it rare if so whats it worth
ReplyDelete1960 dime with a smooth edge
ReplyDeleteJust worn down silver tended to do that about $2.50.
I have a 1998 dime with an edge that's smooth, and it looks like the outside of a penny. The rest of it looks fairly normal (the edges might be a little risen). I'm guessing it isn't worth much, but I figured I would check! Thanks!

3. Missing Artist Initials
4. Torch is not well-defined.

Can you tease out a value or shed some light as to what is going on with this coin? Thanks!
strange 2000D smooth edge dime.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fake.
The bad design, the reverse has the wrong font, and the dimples all over indicate a cast coin.
I've seen a fake dime like this only once...
http://www.cointalk.com/t119340/
From what I understand there is a 2004 video out there showing people how to make counterfeit dimes.
Someone in Centre, Alabama made dozens of these and used them at local stores and they started circulation. Most 2000-D.
Check this out.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite coin. Beautiful to my eyes. This is not a poor color quality photo. This is the color of the patina. I did not photograph the ridged edge but there is no cladding visible. This appears to be, and I'm asking for ideas here, that the copper core layer was unusually thick.

ReplyDeleteLooks more like a rusted dime or chemically damage.
That said it should be weighed to see if it is a Missing Clad error.
Hey Man,
ReplyDeleteSounds like there are cues to determine why a coin may present differently. Do you know of a budget grade scale to weigh coins? What are the weight standards of coins to determine such differences. Love the science.
Thanks
Do you know of a budget grade scale to weigh coins?
ReplyDelete--Amazon sells some I wrote about here...
http://coinedformoney.blogspot.com/2006/07/coin-scale.html
Hopefully they still selling them cheap.
What are the weight standards of coins to determine such differences.
--It should weigh 2.27grams +/- 0.05grams
Any other weight can be an error.
I found a 2002 copper dime and was wondering its value
ReplyDelete2002 copper dime
ReplyDeleteFirst weigh it to see what type of error this may be.
Got a 1967 quarter, no reeding, raised rim, smaller and thicker than a normal quarter. No signs of spooning at all. The words and date are missing half their height. What is it and any value?
ReplyDelete1967 quarter, no reeding, raised rim, smaller and thicker than a normal quarter. No signs of spooning at all. The words and date are missing half their height.
ReplyDeleteSounds damaged, I know you're confident it's not spooning but you are describing it.
Any quarter pressed will have reeding and if no reeding-collar is present the coin would be thinner and larger.
Try weighing it, could be off-metal. Also try and get an image online and link here or at a coin forum for more precise opinions.
Take a look at this.
ReplyDeleteI'll put the link at the bottom.
By the way, thanks for this site. Most posters are like me; don't know much.
I have learned that this is a famous penny mint date and mint location for error; 1969-S.
Now this is not the pristine $100,000+ coin sold at auction (Go here: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/707/1969sdoubleddiepennycen.jpg ) with highly graphic errors, but, there are a number of obvious errors with this average looking circulated coin. That is how it caught my attention.
I'm interested in your take.
I've arrowed the most obvious things I see. What I see is three strikes. The arrow marked #1 is a very fine or soft strike. Number 2 and #3 are obvious. At the top of the coin, I pinpointed the top and bottom of the prominent rim. The top outer edge of the top of the coin drops back down to the depth thickness of the center of the coin.
From the eyes of a neophite, the other arrows show subtle signs of multiple strikes with in the rim of the coin; at least two strikes.

Take a look at this...1969S error?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a slightly Misaligned Strike error that has no extra value, added to that the damage all over the coin whatever value it could have is gone.
I did scan the coin at 98,000 dpi so you saw every flaw for sure!
ReplyDeleteSome of us who participate on your site are looking for information. Despite my reference to a valuable coin find, I really don't particularly care that much about the market value of a coin at a dollars and cents level. I'm not looking to win the lottery. I would love to possess an asset, but, for me, and many of us, I think we all enjoy recognizing subtleties; errors in the process.
If we see obvious errors and it's not considered an error, what is an error? Are three rim strikes that unusual? How does that happen? What is a damaged coin? What is it that damages coins? That's the kind of info I am interested in. When you have suggested weighing coins to for confirmation of silver content or lamination issues, that is extremely valuable objective information to all of us who love this.
I did scan the coin at 98,000 dpi so you saw every flaw for sure!
ReplyDelete--Unfortunately the details are still very blurry. When coins for details size is most important if you can get a 600x600 image from a coin first then boost the dpi.
A camera is often better to see errors since you can play with the shadows to highlight the error while scanner washes out most details.
If we see obvious errors and it's not considered an error, what is an error?
Are three rim strikes that unusual?
How does that happen?
--Errors on coins are defined by an abnormal incident having occurred during the manufacturing of the coin leaving the coin different from the final normal coin.
That said not all errors are valuable or collectible.
Ex. Machine Doubling = when a coin gets struck additional shifting after the initial strike leaving a slight doubling.
Are three rim strikes that unusual?
--No, Machine Doubling means while the coin is getting struck it may move multiple times.
What is a damaged coin? What is it that damages coins?
--Anything that occurs after minting that alters the coin. Machine Doubling is not a true error since it happens after the initial good strike then it moves. Plus it is common.
Other forms of damage are
cleaning: the fiber in paper scratches the surface of coins.
heat: alters the surface hanging the luster
touching: acid in sweat eats the surface
water: ions and bonding with metal
Your coin may have some type of other error but with the image not being sharp I can only go by what I see and that isn't much.
Good luck with the searching and feel free to keep asking question but I defer to a better Lincoln cent error collector...
