On May 22 of this year I was searching through my change at the end of the day and found a 1956 wheat cent, which was ok they are worth about 2¢ in that condition.
I left the coin on my desk because I was too busy to catalog my newest find. Then a few days later I noticed some crud on the coin then I looked closer and saw it was actually excess copper between the B and E in LIBERTY.
Immediately I recognized it was a "BIE" error and sure enough I got my error book out and there it was as clear as day.
Here's this coin stats...
II-F-4 BIE Die Variety (W) = a die break or crack between the B and the E.
Fairly common in the years 1955-1958 and value at $1.00 to $20.00.
I figure due to all the green spots and circulation wear that mine is closer to $1.00.
For a while BIE pennies became very popular and the BIE Guild was formed. Soon so many of these errors were found that the value went down and the collectors stopped tracking these coins. The BIE Guild dissolved and now unless the coin is proof or in excellent shape the premium for this error is low.
Here is a better picture of this type of error from LeeG(an expert collector) he also found a 1956 BIE but as you see in a higher grade.
Do you have an error penny 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 just received a 1857 double strike ACCGS graded MS60 it is about 50% doubled with dates on both strikes. Could you estimate a value for me?
1857 double strike ACCGS graded MS60 it is about 50% doubled with dates on both strikes.
What denomination?
1 cent
1857 double strike ACCGS graded MS60 it is about 50% doubled with dates on both strikes...1 cent
About $450.00 I'm being very conservative since they are common on this date and often found above MS-64, still it is not impossible to reach $1,000.00 at the right auction.
If I come across any recent auctions I will update but the range is too wide for an exact value.
Thank you very much

A 1992 Close AM was reported in September and initially valued at $10,000 but I've heard nothing from that coin since.
I have a 1988 penny with a raised leaf shaped blob on top of Lincoln's head which is also covering part of the WE in "GOD WE TRUST". The raised "leaf" is the same color as the rest of the penny. Is this just an addition to the penny after being minted?

This is a Cud error where the die breaks when being minted it's about $5.00 if in a high grade.
I have just found an 1875 penny with the 1879 penny on the other side. (Britannia on both sides no monarch). How rare is this British mule coin?
Both dates are clearly viable. Both sides are orientated differently.
1875 penny with the 1879 penny on the other side. (Britannia on both sides no monarch).
This is either a fake or a Magician's coins either way a mule like this is not possible.
It has little to no true value.
1981 double die on 'one cent' and memorial bottom worth somthing?
1981 double die on 'one cent' and memorial bottom
As far as I know this is not a true doubling and has no extra value.
If you think it may be true doubling then it should be seen in hand by an expert, but most doubling are just $2.00.
I have a penny dated 1955 D and does't have a stamp on the back. I know it should be a wheat penny but it is just smooth on the back. Anyoe know what this could be worth.

I have a 1922 wheat penny. the last 2 in the date is extremely faint. Also the l in liberty is right up against the edge. And I ran across a 1989 dime with a mis struck rim, any word on this?
1922 wheat penny. the last 2 in the date is extremely faint. Also the l in liberty is right up against the edge.
If there is no D under the date or real weak D this is a sought after variety ranging from $30.00 to $650.00.
This one maybe worth the money to have an expert like PCGS grade it because some fakes exists.
1989 dime with a mis struck rim
Can you be more detailed?
The dime looks like the die was off to one side too much and struck off the rim a little.
Here's a photo:

It is slightly Off-Center but not enough to hold any value.
The penny is the more interesting of the two.
Thank you for the evaluation. I will take it to a coin dealer today and see if my little penny can net me anything. I'll post back.

This is not an error someone just pressed two pennies together, no extra value.
I have a 1950 wheat penny with a small zero. At first I thought it was a 6 with the top rubbed off but it is just a small "0" It has what looks to be an 's' underneath it. The penny is really worn in the back and the color is that of a red clay. I do not know anything about coins. Your postings are so interesting, I think I have a new hobby. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like damage on a 1956-S cent, no extra value. The type of error you described is not possible but damage would explain this.
If you still think it's an error try taking a good picture and posting it somewhere for others to see.
i have a roll of 1987 p cents new, and every coin has the word states of very faint on reverse

1987 p cents new, and every coin has the word states of very faint on reverse
and on face of coin has a ring all the way around the coin going through the words on the coin.
This could be a weak die strike, adjustment strike, partial collar, or most likely a late stage die strike.
Most of those have little to no value since they are common. Unless it is extreme that half the design missing.
i have a unc murcury dime that has a messed up date. 1921 date but looks like the #1is overlay with a#2 1921 is this worth anything or just junk?
unc murcury dime that has a messed up date. 1921 date but looks like the #1is overlay with a#2 1921
This sounds like damage. No 1922 dimes were made so it sounds like someone tried to make a fake from a real 1921.
Usually a 1921 is $600.00 but with this damage it may little value.
i have a 1972 penny that looks like the reverse side is hollographic is it possible this is a error coin?

what kind of error is this.
This is a Die Break or Die Crack error. It has no extra value and is common on State Quarters it happens when they use older or failing dies to press coins.
Only if the break is big and covers a large portion of the coin is it worth more.

I have a 1913 penny with the word LIBERTY spelled LIBEPTY. I cannot see any sign that the R has been altered. Also, how can I tell if a clipped coin is a mint error or if the coin was damaged later? Thanks for your help.

i just picked up a 1935 Silver Certificate Stamped Hawaii. Sold the 1916 S To my dealer for 6 dollars trade.
1913 penny with the word LIBERTY spelled LIBEPTY. I cannot see any sign that the R has been altered.
This is either a weak strike or struck through grease error or damage, all of which has no extra value.
how can I tell if a clipped coin is a mint error or if the coin was damaged later?
It is difficult, try the link below...
http://www.seanq.com/clips.html
1935 Silver Certificate Stamped Hawaii
Value depends on denomination, condition, and serial number.
1916 S To my dealer for 6 dollars trade.
Not bad if you tried selling on eBay there would be fees and other expenses so it evens out.
when i get a chance ill scan it and post a picture. the hawaii dollar. Its only a single and its is decent shape
I have a penny that is struck on the reverse side with the lincoln memorial and all the other details, but it is blank on the front so I have no idea what year it is. Is it worth anything? I also have a 1897 indian head penny condition-G.

I have a 1973 D mint penny. It is 'clipped'. On the back, the top of "ST" letters of 'states' is missing. It does show the bottom of "ST"- The edge of the clip is smooth-
any ideas what it would be worth?
Also----I found these coins in a small package which was in my family for a long time.. anyways I have a 1943 Steel penny, (found that it sticks to a magnet) no mint, with what it looks like 'copper plating' on the front of the coin - a mixture of a mistake? or what?
and sigh- one more-
1943 mercury/silver dime, no mint. It was found in a small package which states "no.3275" it has "United States" on top with eagle under it, plus signed by a person by the name of "David L Carrington" - below that signature, it states "Depository Control Department, Vault Facilities of Lindenwold fine jewelers"
I have no idea what these coins are doing in this package but does it have anything to do with it?
1973 D mint penny. It is 'clipped'
About $0.50 in fine.
1943 Steel penny, (found that it sticks to a magnet) no mint, with what it looks like 'copper plating' on the front of the coin
Sounds like someone coated a real coin, it has no extra value because this is now damaged.
1943 mercury/silver dime, no mint. It was found in a small package which states...
About $1.20 I don't know what all the writing is about.
They could be varieties but they are not proper labeled and should be seen by an expert just in case.

1944 wheat back penny that is a dark red the back side is upside down
The back of all U.S. coins is upside down and unless you are talking about a 180 rotated die error it is just about $0.10.
I have a 1944 wheat penny with clashed die of "trust" on back, and a good wheat, "One", and "e pluribus unum" on the front, and it is in good condition. I see 1944 had a lot of penny's made, how rare is this? and how much is it worth?

Not rare for die clashes on cents maybe $0.50 but in general it adds little to no extra value.
i FOUND A 1947 CANADA PENNY WITH A DOT & NOT A MAPLE LEAF AS i HAVE A FEW WITH A MAPLE LEAF. THANKS
1947 CANADA PENNY WITH A DOT & NOT A MAPLE LEAF AS i HAVE A FEW WITH A MAPLE LEAF
This is just a weak strike maple leaf or a small die break of the regular 1947, either way it has no extra value above the $0.10 for that type.
I have a 1942 wheat penny, and the # 1 from 1942 does not look like a 1 but a 7 or an error strike. Is this a fairly common coin? Thanks.
1942 wheat penny, and the # 1 from 1942 does not look like a 1 but a 7 or an error strike. Is this a fairly common coin?
This is either damage or an error called "die break" either way it so common on wheat cents that it has no extra value.
That said it is about $0.10.
I have a 1916-D
Its a dime that i think its silver..
it has a woman on it with a wierd haircut.
and it has like a tree with vines on it, on the back..
showed it to my local dealer, he said it was worth about 5 bucks, just for the silver
I reckon that its worth more because its so old!
So how much is it worth??
its got a few scratches, but its still shiny! I put it with my keys to show the dealer, so i think i kinda ruined it.
1916-D Its a dime
In good condition which is a low grade is about $1,000.00.
Even if you recently damaged it, the coin would be at least $250.00 but probably more since it is so rare.
Many fakes exist and some are made silver so it should be graded.
Hey, I just came across a 2006 penny where the memorial on the reverse in clearly visible on the observe across Lincoln's face. Any ideas?
2006 penny where the memorial on the reverse in clearly visible on the observe across Lincoln's face.
This is called a Die Clash error it has no extra value. It is made when the die stamp is pressed with no coin in the middle leaving an impression on the stamp.
This is then transferred to other coins.
i have a wheat penny dated with only "19" ,in states
the "s" was not printed the Unum was not printed,in

wheat penny dated with only "19" ,in states
the "s" was not printed the Unum was not printed,in
trust the "s,t" was not printed and the right wheat

It could be damage, a weak strike, or a grease filled error.
In any case these would not bring any extra value.
Although weak strikes are gaining in value you should have it graded to make sure this is just not damage.
I have a 2000 penny with the front and back struck on the same side and other side is blank. how much is the worth?

I have a 1982 Doubled Die date and a 1972 DDO. Also i have what looks like a 1975 DDO as well. Any idea of the value would be?

1982 Doubled Die date about $2.25
1972 DDO about $2.00
1975 DDO none are known.

I have 2 1970-s pennies. They seem to both be large date varieties, at least thats what a few people have told me. What is peculiar to me is how close the s mint mark is to the 9 on one of the coins. Im not sure how to post pisctures on here, but this is the link to the picture:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c317/exodus125/0ebdbff4.jpg
Can you tell me if you think is they are both large date varieties and if you know anything about the s mint mark on the penny to the right? Thanks in advance for your help.
Can you tell me if you think is they are both large date varieties and if you know anything about the s mint mark on the penny to the right?
Both appear to be large dates.
Mintmark variations are common so they don't bring any extra value. Although these two are very interesting.
thanks for the reply, so how much do you think each is worth?

wheat penny with ridges all along the edge.
Damage, no extra value.
This has been seen before but all turned out to be fake.
If you still think it is an error you would have to send it to be graded and that may cost a lot and be returned as a fake or unknown.
I have a 1943-S Steel Penny that has the I completely missing from the Liberty, so it reads like l_berty. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across any information in a error book on that year penny. If someone has any knowledge of such, how much would that penny be worth above and beyond 1Cent?
1943-S Steel Penny that has the I completely missing from the Liberty, so it reads like l_berty.
Either a struck through grease error or zinc-plated damage either way it has no extra value above the $0.40 for being a steel cent.
hello there at work today i picked up a penny (new at collecting) and even from eyes view i could tell that on the observe (heads) the right edge (holding right side up) was a lot thicker then the left side of the penny. but on the tails side both edges where the same. any idea?

I love coins but don't know much about errors, up until last year I was buying the wrong coins. I purchased common BU coins. But, this year I was buying obw 1956 penny rolls again because they were cheap...but after buying 10 rolls I decided I should open one but there were two banks..well inside of one banks rolls I am finding dimes that are copper..they must be pretty common because in 5 out of 6 roll I found at least 1, I found 12 so far.but now I am over paying I think because I want them all in case they are rare.
dimes that are copper
These would be rare but fakes exist.
Weigh the dime to find out what type of error it is.
I have a 1956 D wheat penny that the D is very close to the date. (very close to the 5) The other 1956 D penny I have the D is centered between the 9 and 5. Is there a reason for the different spacing? Is there any value in either. Both coins are in Fine + condition.
Sorry, my previous question had the wrong date. The pennies I am asking about with the D almost touching the 5 and the other with the D centered are 1954 D pennies.

No extra value.
The position of the mintmark changes especially among older coins.
I have a 1959 D penny with thick rounded edges (I believe it is called a die cap). The small area over Lincoln's eye has damage and the color is silver underneath the copper colored coating. Is it of any value greater than $.01?

There is nothing more say this type of error is not possible only when someone sands off one side is it possible.
I've looked at all your postings and can't find one that matches what I have. It's a Lincoln penny that only has the left third of Lincoln's profile on one side (consequently no date or mint) and the right third of the Lincoln monument on the reverse. The remainder of the coin is blank on both sides. In addition, the coin isn't a perfect circle--it "bloops" to one side. Any ideas?

This is an Off Center error by your description about 75% off.
Since it has no date it is not as valuable, that said it's about $7.50 in high grade.

Man, the very, very thin wheat penny from 1956 looks to be a mis struck penny, the head of Lincoln can be seen fairly well, however; the type around the coin you can tell what it says. My Dad got this coin in 1959 and kept it in a "case" ever since.

I have see thin cents that keep good details, they all turn out to be damaged.
That said the only other possibilities are...
1) Off-Metal it needs to weighed to confirm.
2) Lamination when a piece gets sheered off before striking.
Both types need to be weighed and pictured for any expert online to judge.
I have a 1972 penny. The head is wider than normal and there is a line down the middle. It obviously has an error. I know it has some value because I spotted one that look just like it in a late 70's early 80's issue of the National enquirer. I was wondering what the value would be to day?

Without a picture I can not say exactly but it sounds like damage.
That said it called also be an error called a Die Crack it would be about $3.00.
The National enquirer said it was worth $400 and that was around 30 years ago.
How could I send a picture to you so you could look at it?
The National enquirer said it was worth $400 and that was around 30 years ago.
First that newspaper is not reputable for news even less for coins.
Second without a picture I can not even imagine what you described.

First thing is to weigh it.
Thin copper coins often are just damage but it could be some sort of damage it could a lamination error, also try and get a good image and place it online so that others can judge before you spend any money trying to verify it.

Done by a souvenir company most likely because they got an early shipment of cents. They have no numismatic value, they are considered damaged.
That said they sell as art pieces for $4.00 or less.

1939 wheat penny where the back is blank it was miss struck and i can not find any thing about it
The reason you can't find any information is that this type of error is not possible.
Every coin found with a blank side turns out to be damaged, this was done to make jewelry or magic coins.
I have a 1968 misstamped penny.
The front top edge looks smashed (above Lincoln's head) so the only a few letters of IN GOD WE TRUST are visible.
On the back, the edge beneath CENT is raised (like a rim) and over the ONE I can see mutliple lighter ONE stampings.
It is one i found in circulation, so has normal wear.
I've had it for years & always wanted to know its value.
Thank you!

I have a 1972 penny that has a double clip on it. You can almost stand it up on the table. Its is both at the top and bottom of the coin. You can tell it was made this way as the upraised ridge is intact and all wording is still there. How much do you think this is worth?
