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.

Oh that is very minor about $2.00 in that condition.
I have a 1983 penny that's has a Y in Liberty that is slightly visible to see and also missing the letters FG on the right side of Lincoln Memorial building. I'm wondering is it a error penny and do it have value??

Struck Through Grease or Late Stage Die error, either way no extra value.
These types of errors are very common especially on cents.
I have a deformed penny: it looks like there was a full blank penny on both sides with about 1/4 of a 1965 penny attached, grooved into the blank penny as if it were stamped that way.
I'm wondering the value. Thanks!

Off-Center strike error about $5.00 if circulated but still sharp.
hi I have a 1992 penny the M in America is very close to the E, and on the front in front of Lincoln's eye it looks like a D or an O. is this anything?
1992 penny the M in America is very close to the E
Possible Close AM they start at $2,500 but this should be verified.
and on the front in front of Lincoln's eye it looks like a D or an O
Possibly damage but could also be a Dropped Letter error which would add value.
This should either be well photographed and placed online or taken to an expert.
I have a 1964 d penny with a die crack above lincolns eye and RIGHT below his hairline, my grandma calls it lincoln crackhead hahaha. I posted the picture to my facebook, ill link to it. Whats up with it? Anything? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=43535258&l=40d1e8a096&id=38420367
1964 d penny with a die crack above lincolns eye and RIGHT below his hairline
Can't really see since the image is not clear.
That said images are not needed since these types of die cracks or breaks do no add any extra value.
They are caused by older dies that press each coin and often start at the highest points of the design. Eventually these small cracks will turn to larger breaks and if going from rim to rim across the coin the will have value.

If you mean a Dime with a Partial Collar error then it is about $5.00.
I have a 1945 penny and it looks like it has a piece of crud covering the words in God We Trust. The back is in pretty good shape.Is this an atheist penny?
1945 penny and it looks like it has a piece of crud covering the words in God We Trust. The back is in pretty good shape.Is this an atheist penny?
If the "piece of crud" can be removed then it is just dirty, no extra value.
The famed "Atheist Cent" was formed when the die broke leaving a lump where the words WE TRUST should be.
Yours may be one of these because there are several varieties but it can also be a fake made by sanding of the words.
The coin was just a normal error that one coin dealer decided to hype and name Atheist after this any coin missing parts of the In God We Trust motto has the same name.
They sell for about $2.00
I have a 1975 penny that is mis-stamped. The "picture" is slightly off from the outer rim.

Sounds like a minor Misaligned Die error unless the misalignment is 15% or more it has no extra value.
I have a 1997 penny and on the front of the penny it has Lincoln on it like a normal penny and you can see the back of the penny that is also on the front. But on the back of the penny it looks normal. How much might this be?
Also it doesn't have any damage on it like it being smashed or anything

Sounds like a Die Clash error when the dies used to mint coins smashes into itself because there is no blank coin in between them.
The bottom design gets on to the top die-stamp and then every coin afterwards gets the design.
These have no extra value.
Ok, Thanks :)
i have a 1992 penny - but only the face, the back is not there and is just silver color,the rim of the coin is there but its kind of hollow, is it worth anything?

Minor Die Crack and some splitting around the S, about $10.00.
But this one is hard evaluate since I've never seen the crack come from the E in that way, if you are sure it is raised metal.
It kind of looks like a gouge or deep scratch then it would have no extra value.

bag of 2,000 uncirculated 1963 canadian nickels
About $0.20 each but not that popular, the best bet is to try to sell on eBay for 10% above face value, so $110.00.
Even if you just go to a Canada bank and get $100 it would be better. Maybe get some silver coins for trade.
I found a 1968 (or could be a 1967) penny. Why I don't know for sure is because the date 1968 there is a 7 printed over the 8.

As far as I know this Overdate does not exist, I suspect this is a die break error.
If real it would be worth hundreds.

Sounds damaged, unfortunately I do not understand most of your description.
From what I gather the date is indented and the coin is thin, which indicates someone smashed 2 coin together, no extra value.
Either try to place a clear picture online then drop a link here or try to describe it better.
Sorry, for not being 100% certain but error are hard to identify.

I don't know if my last comment posted or not, but I have a 1997 penny that is sort of dented like someone hit it with a hammer. but I don't think that that happened because there would be scratches and other damage and I don't think so. also the entire reverse is a gray-blue color.

Dents are never true errors.
I meant to say that I don't see any damage
Also, after looking at it in a better light, I realized that it is more of a green-gray color.

I was looking at some of these comments and I think that somebody posted something saying that they had a 1955D penny that had a horizontal D printed over the regular D. according to another website, this is a real coin and is worth I think it said one hundred dollars maximum. If I am remembering right, you said that this is not possible and that it is not worth anything. As I said before, I am not sure that this comment was posted. I may just be imagining things.

There are 19 known D/D varieties for 1955 but none with a true horizontal tilt. Most are tilted a few degrees and have very little value.
It is possible a new variety was found but books and my current website network does not show this.
Thanks for the update.

I got a 1986D near-mint penny that's "golden" (don't know if it's gold or not, but it's most definitely not copper or zinc--or doesn't appear to be copper.) Also, some of the details on the penny hasn't been printed clearly. What could it be worth?

Weigh it.
But I suspect a plated cent, the plating does not add value and is considered damage.

A real thin planchet error would have a rim.

HI, I have a large silver coin with the date January 11, 1962. Has two faces facing left, looks to be JFK and not sure who the other man behind him is. Around the edges of the coin it reads: MICCOSUKEE TRIBE * GREAT FATHERS. On the back it reads: CONSTITUTION APPROVED BY THE US GOVERNMENT* PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP. Then there's an eagle, wings spread, left facing, sun in the background & hands shaking. Do you have any information on this Coin? If so, can you tell me how much it may be worth? Thanks so much for your time.

Miccosukee Tribe medals issued in 1968.
Limited to about 1,000 they were meant for special presentation purposes if silver.
Value is difficult to since they are not really wanted and they don't sell well.
At this point they only have metal value, if you have the .999 silver version about $40 an ounce.
The silver plated bronze is $5.00.
Greetings:
I recently opened a roll of 1968s pennies all BU. On the reverse, the letters "STA" from states and the "E" from E pluribus are very faint. On a couple almost nonexistent. The obverse side appears struck too hard and the outline of the portrait is visible on reverse. In all, 20-30 coins have this condition in different degrees of intensity.

If the coin is odd shpae and odd size it is a Die Cap error it's about $15.00 in low grade.

Your pictures are not clear, it looks like a Die Clash error which would have little to no extra value. Maybe $5.00 at the most.
Were this a true Double Struck it would be at least $200.00 but the Lincoln Memorial would not be so projected out on the obverse.

I sort Copper at 12. Is that a start of making money.. soon i get a copper sorter
I sort Copper at 12. Is that a start of making money.. soon i get a copper sorter
No.
The problem is that no is buying copper cents because it is illegal to melt them. Unless the law changes the will be hard to sell.
Another thing is that each copper cent is about $0.02 so the profit is very small.
All that said I also separate copper but I will hold them for 30 years hoping their collectors value will also increase.
Keep it up, as long as you having fun it is all good.

I have a penny made in 1956 with the Lincoln Memorial on the back. They didn't start putting the Lincoln Memorial on the back of pennies until 1959. How much is this worth?
penny made in 1956 with the Lincoln Memorial on the back. They didn't start putting the Lincoln Memorial on the back of pennies until 1959
Not possible.
A transitional error would be 1958 and one these have never been found.
So 1956 is a flat out fake.
Sorry, no extra value.
It clearly says 1956 on the penny and the Lincoln Memorial is on the back of it
It clearly says 1956 on the penny and the Lincoln Memorial is on the back of it
I have no doubt.
But this is impossible because the Lincoln Memorial reverse was not made until 1958 at the earilest.
1956 dies are destroyed on or before Dec. 31, 1956.
This is a clever fake.

I suspect it is machine doubling with no extra value.
I came across a 1975-d Lincoln cent with the mint mark slightly lower and directly below the 7 instead of between the 9 and 7 and it has a slight clockwise kink to it maybe about the 4 minute position. is this something you have come across in the past because i have searched exhaustively online and can't find anything.

The position of the mint mark can vary wildly and this seems normal. These were punched and re-punched by hand so unless there is doubling it has no extra value.
1996 Liberty Penny. Double Die Error. On the front of the penny there is an extra ridge. it's on the bottom & right sides. The top & left sides don't have a ridge at all. The Penny is in good shiny condition with light surface scratches only, but not mint. The back side doesn't contain the error.

Doesn't sound like a doubled die, instead it sounds like a Minor Misaligned Die error, no extra value.
Doubling on this year occurs on the 1996 and TRUST.
hey just got a 196? lincoln penny it is way off-center, note the year. Back of coin fine.
196? lincoln penny it is way off-center, note the year. Back of coin fine
Misaligned Die or Off-Center about $4.00 in high grade, the ones with full dates and other parts missing are worth more.
My brother has a 1968 error penny it says the letter "L" is too close and you can not see it in the word liberty also on the same coin the Phrase IN God we trust is so close to the edge you can barley make out what is says.

I have what appears to be a penny blank that got caught under a penny being pressed. The penny has Lincoln's head and "In God We Trust" 1939 IMPRINTED (not relief) and reversed. The "tails" side has no markings and does not appear to have ever had any. Value? Thanks

Two possibilties...
1. Somone squished two pennies at home, no extra value.
2. Some type of Die Cap error worth hundreds.
In my judgement these tend to be fake when indented but at this point only an expert in hand could tell.
1945 nickel with no mint mark anywhere. Not even above the dome on the back. What's it worth?

Odd since these were made of softer materials they tend to have more errors were letters are missing.
That said weigh it, it may be a valuable counterfeit.

I found a penny several years ago that was normal on the head side, but the tail side had strange triangular markings indented into the picture. The building and words are still there, but the triangular shapes and lines are very visible. What could this be?

I found a penny where both sides are stamped off center. Almost half of it is blank with a partial print. The date is not on it because of it. The back does have some discoloration but I don't know if its just crud or copper. Are these pennies worth anything? Thanks!

Sounds like a Struck Through Grease error which may actually lower the value, about $1.00.

I found a 1967 penny that has nothing at all stamped on the back side. It is completely smooth. It does not even have the lip around the edge. At first I thought it had gotten sanded, so I weighed it and compared it with another penny made the same year. They weigh the same. So I believe it is a penny that didn't get the reverse side struck at all. Is this a good find? Does it have any value? Thank you.

Not possible, if a coin gets stapmed the back must all get stamped.
If something blocked it the coin would be completey out of shape and not smoothed.
If you used a 0.01 gram scale it may clear this up.
Unless there is warping this is damage, no extra value.
I found a 1975 penny that has a large S on top of the year. It is possible that someone stamped it in for some reason but I thought I would try to check it out. Any help would be appreciated, thanx.

thanks
any information would be appreciated

Sounds like a 5% Clip Error it's about $2.50 in circulated condition.
Oh I would add about the Clip errors usually just find similar coins at auction or sale to estimate price.
A lot of the clips value is eye appeal.
Hello, I have a 2001 Lincoln penny that appears to be a brockage, the obverse clearly has a reversed impression of the Lincoln Memorial as well as part of "In God We Trust" on the left portion of the coin. It also has several deep scratches on the reverse that appear to be machine made. Any chance that this is a genuine mint error coin?
Same poster as previous, I mis-typed, a portion of "United States of America" is on the obverse, as well as the normal "In God We Trust".

If the Brockage is 100% it's about $50.00. It should be verified in hand because fakes are easily made.
I have come across a 1965 penny with very raised edges. I have collected coins for years and have never seen the edges this high. Really good condition for being in circulation

Could be a Finned Rim error, the value depends on eye appeal and verification.
Average is a couple of hundred but many fakes and damaged pieces exist.
