Im trying load more pictures but it's hard because I have to have them so small and I have to edit everything. But I need to know which one of these are good and which ones are bad.

Then why are coins worth money if they're damaged? And if they are that would be in a good way to collectors right?

Im just trying to get an idea of what's worth keeping and what's worth spending. My friend is a collector and he has bad eyes and back problems that kinda prevent him from going through his constant collection of new coins (he never spends his pocket change). So I've been trying to learn by reading and watching YouTube but I could use a hand from some experts that can actually see the coins and the errors or lack thereof. Thanks.

Sadly, damaged means bad. For collectors as well.
What we look for is "errors" problems with a coin that occurred during the process of making a coin, these two you have posted are damaged coins (contrast with error) which are very much just worth spending!
Better luck next time!

You are correct these are not errors.

Also note could be filled in if the device takes a hit after strike, which is damage. To say all coin damage is not collectable does not always apply to some. Some forms of after strike damage is sought after. To name a few would include love tokens, hobo nickels and some counter stamps. Thanks, Doug. PS: Edited by Halo1st

Is the second coin a Dryer Coin, it has a significant amount of the rim missing, plus a sandblasted appearance. Dan |

More likely buried in acidic soil or pickled in acid

Look at the edge of the coin where the reeds are. If it reduced inwards, then the coin was soaked in acid.  Under these images is my signature line. On that area see the numbers 1-5? Those are my youtube videos. The videos are about 20 minutes long. It discusses the subject you talking about. I call it Coin Fishin': What to keep and what to throw back.Take a look at them. I feel that is what you need to see.  Edited by coop
