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.

Damaged, no extra value.
This type of error is not possible but often the back is buffed off for jewelry or magic coins.

Either wear or struck through grease error or a weak strike, in all cases no extra value.

I have a 1992 quarter. Front is not fully struck and back has tails struck with an off center heads strike on it. How do I find out the value?
I posted about the 1992 quarter. I want to add that the head strike on the tail side is and opposite strike. Meaning that the head is indented instead of raised and the words are backwards/mirrored image.

It sounds like a fake done by mashing two quarters together.

Again referring to the above 1992 quarter, could it be a brockage or is it fake? I didn't pay for this coin, I acquired from a pizza delivery change. :}

Not brockage because then the other side would not be flattened.
This is damaged or a fake, either way not a true error.

I have a 1986 Lincoln Penny that looks like it has been struck twice on front and back. The Lincoln faces to the right on one of the strikes and to the left at about a 45 degree angle on the other strike. On the back it is struck twice too. One vertical and one horizontal strike and they are at about a 45 degree angle. Could you please tell me what it is worth.

I have a wheat penny normal in most respects except the date: in order, the digits are "1", followed by what appears to be a tilde, or a raised sideways "s" shaped marked (looks like the die slipped while minting as opposed to subsequent alteration), followed by a "5" which is considerably lower than the "1" when compared to any other wheat penny examples.
old wheat back penny that is really thin. The details are crystal clear so it hasn't been acid dissolved or altered. Also a quarter from the 50's with several pot marks (spot like craters of various sizes)
Both are damaged.
They still have extra value because of metal content but no coin value.
Weigh them to find out exactly.

Weigh it to find out what you have. It could be plated, off-metal error or a missing clad error but it has to be weighed first.

Looks like someone smashed two cents together, no extra value.

If two separate D's then it is some sort of fake.
If it looks more like doubling or overlapping then it is a Doubled Die error that is about $2.00.

1979 D penny with the mint mark completely filled in. The d actually looks more like a period than anything. Ive heard this type of error is fairly common
Yes it is a common error known as Die Break or Die Chip error.
When a die used to press the coin gets old it starts breaking the lettering is so small and fine it starts to break first. That happens often so there is no extra value unless it is extreme (taking up 1/4 of the coin face).
It is a good start keep looking.

This centered double-strike is about $5.00 in circulated. With these "eye-appeal" and high mint grade can bring it to $50 in some cases.

This sounds like damage since this kind of error is not possible. No extra value.
That said if possible to see a good picture of both sides it might help.

Ok the spike looks like an indent which means this was part of jewelery at some point.
In other words it is damaged, the back is completely smooth and straight. Were this a real error the back would be warped and have some type of bumps beyond the spike.
Sorry, no value. Great pictures though.

Hello, We have a 1983 penny without a mint mark that is very light in color and seems to weigh less than a newer penny. I understand that the metal change occurred during this time, but find it to be unlike any other color in my collection. Nor is it magnetic. Also, shouldn't it have a mint mark? Thanks for your input.
2001 penny with back over front whats it worth in fine grade
This is either a Die Clash error at no extra value, or a Double Struck cent at $25 at the lowest.
But without seeing it I can not be confident in giving a value, sorry.
Try Googling "die clash cent" and "double struck cent" to see which you have.

No mint mark is normal for cents.
In 1982 they did change the metal content but errors still exist.
Weigh it, a normal 1983 cent should weigh 2.50 grams.
2001 penny on ebay there is one same as mine with out the white around it its listed under 2001 penny erroes Broadstrike & reverse counter brockage if there such a thing for $95 look just like mine
2001 penny erroes Broadstrike & reverse counter brockage
If it were true Brockage then yes but it looks more like Broadstrike and Die Clash which is about $20.00.
Just Broadstrike, which is the larger than normal coin with the streaks, starts at $5.00 in good.
Brockage is when a mirror image is stamped on a coin by another coin during the minting process, it will warp and bend the coin.

Common and it has no extra value.
I have a 1917 wheat penny that looks like when the back of the penny was struck it had another penny covering some of it's back which made a penny indentation with nothing on it. About three fourth's of the back is printed and the rest is blank. The blank area is like a penny was in that area. The area that didn't get printed is like missing the area in the penny where the other penny was laying when it was struck. Is this penny worth anything?

If the front is also distorted this would be a Double Struck or Partial Brockage.
It has to verified but it would be about $50 to start.
That said it is easily faked. First try posting a picture online for others to see it maybe try contacting an expert like...

mint condition 2001 penny with an "S" minted on it
"S" means these are proof cents and should not be circulated, but it happens when collectors think they are less than perfect so they lose most of the value and are dumped into change.
In mint(PF-60) it's about $0.50.
In higher PF-65 it is about $4.00.

2001 penny with the letter D minted underneath the date also in the words in god we trust the word trust is very weak.
Just $0.01 weak lettering is common on cents.
1969 s minted penny i hear these can sell for more than 100,000 dollars
Assuming it is a U.S. cent it is about $0.03.
The $100,000 variety is a Doubled Die error where all the words on the front of the coin is noticeably doubled. Very rare.

Hi i have a 1964 penny with no mint, this coin stands out to me for a number of reasons, number one '' in god we trust '' most of this writing appears to be uneven and miniature compare to other pennies, number 2 lincoln is very bulked out on the coin he sticks out further on this particular coin, and also the design of lincolns suit is different, this coin weighs more than my other pennies.

First get an accurate weight, it should be 3.11 grams.
Second the odd lettering and the protruding design suggest a Late Stage Die or uneven strike, either way it has no extra value.
Third, "the design of lincolns suit is different" this is not possible since only one design is ever used for all coins.
It sounds like the changes are just exaggerated by a Late Stage Die Strike meaning the die used to make the coin was old and starting to break up.
Just found a 1943 copper cent?
1943 copper cent
Many fakes exist, first weigh it to see if this is a plated fake.
scales is reading 3.11 grams
1943 copper cent...scales is reading 3.11 grams
Right weigh for a rare error, if you look under high magnification and there is nothing weird with the 3 then all is left is to get it graded by PCGS or others.
I still caution that many fakes exist some are very well made, but if you are confident then spend the $50+ to have it graded.
Maybe take it to a coin club in your area for hands on opinions.

Um, I think Britain money of some sort, definitely not American. The designs on the front is a portrait of a man with a beard that hangs down a bit, and on the other side is an eagle with its wings spread out. The date is located below the portrait.

How about a 2006 penny that was misstuck and off center? The edge is smoother around it than a normal penny too.

If it's less than 15% Off-Center no extra value.

Sounds like a die clash error, no extra value.
Even if struck by another cent it could be done at home so still no extra value.
i have a 1965 penny that has been stamped over with a dime.you can clearly see the word liberty and eisenhowers head on the front of the penny and some markings on the back of it as well.i dont have a pictoshow you but im hoping you can still help me a little bit with finding its value. i know it cant be fake cause you can feel the indentations and everything...please help
1965 penny that has been stamped over with a dime.you can clearly see the word liberty and eisenhowers head on the front of the penny and some markings on the back of it as well.
This type of error is really not possible, a cent is too big to be pressed in a dime press.
Plus you said "eisenhowers head" but Eisenhower is only on the half dollar.
It sounds like someone smashed a dime into a cent. Or it is some other type of error. Without a picture I can not say with certainty, sorry.
Thanks for the tip on the scales I got one from amazon. the 1995 lead us.penny I ask you about weighed 2.47g.I also have A 1943 I think its Lead to it weighed 2.74g its us.to are they worth any thing.thank you
1995 lead us.penny I ask you about weighed 2.47g.
That is within the normal weight of 2.50g +/-0.05g.
But an unplated cent would weigh 2.45g it is so close, look at this link and it may help but you may have to take it to a professional to make sure...

1943 I think its Lead to it weighed 2.74g
That is within the normal weight of 2.70g +/-0.05g.
It should be Zinc-coated-steel but it looks like lead.
About $0.30
I have 1995 Lead us.penny it weighed 2.47g.its in good shape could you tell me what its worth thank you
1995 Lead us.penny it weighed 2.47g.its in good shape
Again I know it is not lead that is impossible, if you checked out either of the two links you would see a Missing Clad error starts at about $70.00 and the coins would be Zinc.
I suspect yours is a plated fake with no extra value. But find someone who can check it in hand.
The 2010 Shield penny with a die break across the T on (CENT) I have many of these from the same batch of rolls. There is also many other die breaks on other areas, some near E.P. Unum and some on the Obverse. Along with these errors are internal rim around the coin and many of the coins have a weird edge on obverse/reverse. It is as if the coin has a corona or star burst on the edge of the interior interior. Many of these coins have the exact errors. The shield has horizontal lines between the bands. I am having a REAL HARD TIME photographing these. I have used a macro lense w/tripod/flash/no-flash. I am going to try a BMP on a scanner. I am getting it fixed. Realize its kinda hard to talk about coins you cant see. I have seen the "T" die breaks on Ebay for $0.99. But I have multiple errors and have no clue as to value.
ALSO.... I have a roll of Quarters that kinda got me back into becoming a numismatist. The 2007 Washington State Quarter has Mountains which have inclusions behind them. These are also (36 of 40) covered with grease areas around the head of Washington. The AM and RI in AMERICA are touching in many of the coins but not all. There is a (P) stamped near the head inside and it just may be redundant or an error that just looks like a (P). If you look I was able to Photograph these. They are easy compared to the shinny shield penny. I am most interested in the Mountains but the others errors are interesting as well. Please take a gander and give me your valued opinion.

2010 Shield penny with a die break across the T on (CENT) I have many of these from the same batch of rolls...
No extra value. Die breaks have no value for collectors unless they are Cuds.
As for the ones on eBay if you can sell them for anything over $0.01 go ahead but some people can sell sand in a desert but that does not mean it is special.

Struck Through Grease error, no extra value very common.

Again it is probably a plated fake but only an expert can tell in person.
Hi, you have to have alot of patience reading through all of our posts that know nothing. I being one, have a 9 y/o son who just started his wheat pennies. In doing this we came across a damaged penny that appears to be one where 1955 is printed backwards. Ever heard of, or is such a thing possible? It would need cleaned to read very well. He is just curious, so I said I would ask for him. Thank you for your time.

I've never heard of this.
This is not possible. It sounds altered and has no value.
Maybe try posting a picture somewhere and linking it here, just in case.
Hello,
I have an offset rim 1982 Lincoln memorial penny.
could you help me out with this? I have not been able to find anything. I relive it is probably not worth much but would like to know the value just he same.
Thanks
offset rim 1982 Lincoln memorial penny.
I do not understand what error you are trying to describe.
Either take a picture and post it somewhere then drop s link.
Or try and be more descriptive.
I found a 1961 D lincoln penny, has a steel looking coating on it.. I compared it to a1943 and it is a little bit lighter lookin in color.. seen someone else on a different forum have the same question with the same year.. and no answer. What can u tell me about it??
1961 D lincoln penny, has a steel looking coating on it..
Two possibilities...
1) plated fake, no extra value
2) Off-metal error, worth a lot
Just weigh it to find out. A fake would weigh about 3.11 grams. Any other weight would determine value.
I am sorry if I was not descriptive enough. Basically the whole design is moved over a tiny bit and the one side is slightly squashed. Like the rim is really wide at one side and non existent on the other.
Hope this helps!
Basically the whole design is moved over a tiny bit and the one side is slightly squashed. Like the rim is really wide at one side and non existent on the other.
If the coin is Off-Center equally on both sides it is an slight off-center error with no extra value.
If the coin is Off-Center on unequally on either side it is a Mis-Aligned die, no extra value.
The only time these have extra value is when part of the design or lettering is cut off. Missing a portion of the rim is common.
I HAVE A 1929-S PENNY THE L ON LIBERTY IS FLUSH OR INSIDE THE RIM IS IT A ERROR COIN THANKS
1929-S PENNY THE L ON LIBERTY IS FLUSH OR INSIDE THE RIM IS IT A ERROR COIN
Not really, it can either be damage or slight off-center error but either way it is so minor it adds no value, about $0.50 in good.
I was given a 1994 penny that seems to be made from the same metal that is made from dimes. I was wondering if it is worth anything?

1972 no mint mark usa penny ,only the date is doubled
There are 13 known varieties of Doubled dies for this year. Most are $3.00 or less in fine.
It can also be hub doubling worth no extra value.

IS a 1958 penny flip over double die worth anv thing? I found it in an uncirculated roll.
1958 penny flip over double die
Not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the reverse is Doubled?
Or is this a flip over double strike on the reverse?
yea theres wheats on the obverse and some obverse on the reverse its from a secound strike its not pushed through.
yea theres wheats on the obverse and some obverse on the reverse its from a secound strike its not pushed through
Sounds like a Die Clash error, no extra value.
A true flip over double strike would destroy the details of the first strike except for the highest points.
What you describe is some details on the lowest points which is classic die clash error.
and the remnants of the first strike would be raised not endented. Thanks for your time.
Todd
and the remnants of the first strike would be raised not endented.
Not sure what you mean but and indented images means that two coins were smashed into each other this is a whole different type of error.
If you think it may be something special take good pictures of the coin and post them somewhere online. You can then link it here or go to a coin forum to get multiple opinions.
Todd,
I am cautious in saying yours is real since nearly all Wheat cent flipovers have proven to be fakes.
That said this guy has great resource but he'll probably want pictures also...
http://www.dvnmagazine.com/
Good luck I hope yours is real it would worth hundreds if not more.
I have pictures not sure where to post to?
Todd

sorry this is it. Todd

Both links worked.
This is not a double struck coin.
The secondary strike is a Mirror image meaning it was not struck twice instead someone smashed these cents together.
Also the secondary image is indented, like a die clash.
This has no extra value.
yea die clash makes sense. Thanks again for your time. Todd
1999-d steel penny any info
1999-d steel penny
Weigh it to see if it's an error.
weigh it?
weigh it?
Yes, if a plated fake it would weigh about 2.50 grams.
Any other weight would be a clue on what type of error it is and how much value it has.
Since your so knowleged, I was wondering if I could get your opion on the coating of this steel penny. Im not experienced with the Zinc coatings, but I read an article about coin dealers recroming these coins ? Can you tell from the pictures. It has double date and mint mark? http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5895/1943dd002.jpg

The coating looks odds since it is so smooth, I suspect replating and that left something odd around the date, no extra value.
I can see doubling but it's not clear enough. Although there are 8 known Doubled Die varieties for this coin yours does not match any.
Average is about $4.00 in fine and not replated.
Here is a good site for doubling...

Look around and use the "die variety search" for more examples.
Hello, I have a 1996 D quarter that clearly looks to a dep letter error. An "A" of the same one used throughout the coin, is imprinted in blanck space, on obverse side, between the back of Washington head and the rim. Do you have any idea what it might be worth?

1924 Lincoln wheat penny and the other side is printed upside down is this rare?
If you mean when Lincoln is upright and you flip the coin left or right the back is upside down this is normal about $0.20.
If you mean when Lincoln is upright and you flip the coin left or right the back is also upright this is an error about $20.00.
Hello I have a Lincoln penny with a date error. The the mint mark is D and the first three numbers are legible 197. The fourth number is just a short slant. It sort of look like this 197/, except the slate is shorter. I also compared it to a 1974 D and 1971 D but the striking is different. Please help.

Either damage or Struck Through Grease error, no extra value foe both.
I have a 1972-D penny. It's approx 50% half struck. Front: L to R, Only letters are erty, going around top of eyes. Rear: L to R, Letters start at ted on around through america, lower left of memorial steps and approx 40% of left column cut off. Just curios to value. Appears to be in good condition with crisp letters and well defined detail. Thanks Jerry
1972-D penny. It's approx 50% half struck.

Any idea o a 1963 D diameter the size of a dime, and the rim extends out quite a bit
Thank you
In reference to above- it's a penny
1963 D diameter the size of a dime, and the rim extends out quite a bit- it's a penny
From what I understand you have a cent that is normal design except larger in diameter like it was squished.
This is a Broadstrike error about $4.00 on average, but a lot depends on eye appeal.
I have a 1930 S penny that appears unusual. I would guess it is probably in VG8 condition. There is what appears to be a bulge on the obverse. It begins above Lincoln's head, at the rim between "God" and "We", curves around the back of Lincoln's head following the outline of his head back down to just above the rim where his shoulder is closest to the rim on the left side of the device. This creates a sort of shadow effect with the gap between the bulge and the back of Lincoln's head. The bulge also appears on the right side of the device, running from the point of Lincoln's beard in a slight curve through the numeral 1 and disappearing back into the bust just below the 1. "Liberty" is entirely on the bulge. The letters and numeral 1 that are stamped on the bulge appear more weakly struck than the legend's immediately adjacent. For example, the 1 appears weakly struck while the 9 is strong and crisp. This makes me believe that the bulge was present when the coin was struck, and that it is not some later alteration. My poor photography skills make it impossible for me to get a good picture to post. Is this some common mint error that I just haven't encountered before? Thanks.

Sounds like damage, bulges only appear if the coin was heated.
If the coin had a bulge before being minted it would flattened out.
No extra value. If you can take a sharp picture by using the macro feature of a camera that would be great but your description makes me think damage.
I have a 1971-D penny. It has a funny lip one the left side of the penny, but the reverse appears flawless... Any Value? Any History?
I should have pointed out, that it is on the Lincon side it has this lip. I can provide pictures.

That is a Minor Misaligned Die error it has no extra value.
I found a penny that isn't pressed at all. No image, just smooth and flat. I couldn't tell you what year or mint, but I compared it side-by-side to a normal penny to make sure it wasn't just a random bit of copper, and it's the exact dimensions of a penny. Is there any value to it?
Well, not entirely flat. The rim still sticks up a bit.

Two types exist if zinc Lincoln...
Blank--No raised rim about $2.50
Planchet--With raised rim about $3.50
If copper just reverse the values.
I'll add Zinc core cents weigh 2.50 grams
Copper cents weigh 3.11 grams

Not quite sure what you are describing it could be a Cud error which is a blob of extra metal higher than normal about $5.00.
Or a Misaligned Die error which is like the coin is shifted leaving blank crescent shapes only on one side the other is normal or shifted in another direction about $1.00.
I'm confused by "THE SAME PLANCHET ON THE BACK SIDE " do you mean the back is normal?
If you can post a picture somewhere and link here that may help.
i have a 1983 penny cud how much is that worth

Depends on cud size but if at least 15% about $20.00.
