1972 Lincoln Memorial Cent Double Parallel Die Crack Or Just PMD/Scratch?

Noticed this marking completely across the obverse of 1972 penny center of Northernmost rim (near 12oclock) running S/E to rim at about 4oclock passing through the 9 and the 7 of the date. From my novice opinion, it appears to be a die crack but I figured I'd run it by the experts and more knowledgeable people here as always to get an accurate answer and or sources to explain what I'm looking at. Thanks in advance as always guys!

1960 D Penny Possible Error Question

It appears to be a large date. Also slightly off topic I've seen several images that show the difference between 1960 large date and small date pennies and I noticed that some images showing the differences mention that 1960 D small date is not uncommon or rare but states that 1960 no mint mark small date pennies are considered rare. Is this true I've looked into it a little and don't see anything that points to it being that much of a rarity

1976 Chipped Planchet Penny Error

I have gotten in the habit of stopping by chase bank anywhere from usually three to five times a week to pick up usually six or sometimes eight rolls of circulated pennies for my error and variety hunting. Yesterday I picked up four rolls and found this 1976 chipped planchette error It's relatively small at 12:00 but I've been trying to keep an eye out for one on my hunts and haven't found one before this so pretty excited even if it's not a large chip or considered valuable but it's for my collection anyways so I have no intention of selling anything I'm come across. I always ask you guys for your advice and help and expertise. I always get the information I can't find myself easily rapidly and accurately from this community so I figured I would post a picture of my new find. I'm surprised no one has pulled it from circulation seeing is how it's from 1976 but it's also not extremely noticeable because of its size unless you're actually looking for it probably. Thank you guys again I found many error and variety coins in my short time and keep growing my collection which I'd never have gotten close to what I've learned so far in a short time without all you guys! I appreciate all the help you guys provide. This is by far one of my favorite hobbies I've ever had in my life.

I was looking through my 1988 pennies for 88 with 89 reverse. So far I have found 2 which took me much longer than I expected to find them! Lol I noticed this 1988 (not 89 reverse) with a noticeable filled in 9 also a die crack at the very top of Lincoln's hair under "WE". I assume this isn't considered too rare or anything but figured id ask the experts in the community rather than assuming it. Thanks in advance everyone!

Are you sure? Seems odd how its solid/not loose as I would expect. Plus wouldnt it have most likely broken off if that was the case?

I noticed the rim seems to have separated during the minting process below the "E" of "CENT". What is the name of this type of error? Thank you guys!

Possible Counter Clash Error 2004 P Nickel

Old Post Posted 08/07/2023  10:29 pm
I came across this 2004 P nickel and on the reverse it appears to have a counter clash specifically I can see the flag and flagpole on right side of reverse of coin seems to show on the left side of the reverse on the left side of the coin. Is this considered a common error? I would have expected to see the clash on the obverse at least I had thought. Would this have happened from the image being clashed onto the obverse die then clashed again onto the reverse from the obverse? I would have expected the clash image to not be reversed of the original if the original image was transferred twice back onto the reverse die. Can anyone who knows what exactly I'm looking at here give me some info on what exactly is going on here please? Thanks in advance! You guys always give me the best information without failure. I appreciate it!

I just found another 200 wide am variety just now while cleaning loose change I had laying around my room I must have overlooked the first time around. I know not very rare but still exciting! I check EVERY 1992 for close and every 1998, 1999, 2000 for wide I come across so only finding my second one to date is pretty sweet!

Question About 1982 Small Date Philadelphia Copper Penny

Old Post Posted 06/22/2023  7:35 pm
So I recently was going through a bunch of pennies that I have set aside and came across two 1982 Philadelphia small date copper pennies. They are both definitely small date 100% and both way 3.1 G, I know some people mix up the large and small dates but these are definitely both small dates and definitely both copper. I know that the 1982 D small date copper pennies or the really rare and sought after ones but I'm getting mixed answers when looking online on how rare the small date Philadelphia 1982 copper pennies are. Does anybody know how uncommon 1982 Philadelphia small day copper pennies are or if they're even rare at all? Thank you guys in advance.

When I began examining pennies in an effort to find rare or uncommon error coins or varieties, I stumbled across this rarity in what I would estimate is AU condition on the sidewalk in front of my local gas station. Actually it was either on the first or second day I began attempting to collect error pennies just by weird good luck. I only thought it had a big cud on the back at first but several months later with more research I come to find that it was a rare type 2 counterclash error penny. I have not had it graded or anything at this point but my question here is, is there a way for me to find out how many of these types of error penny have been released into circulation or at least how many have been believed to have been found or located? I assume there's no way to know exactly how many there are as unless somebody finds one and makes it known or has it graded, then there isn't a way to verify exactly how many there are. At least that's my understanding. Is there any resources for me to find out if there is a known estimate of how many of these coin errors were minted or at least how many have been known to be located at this time? I assume that it's probably going to be a low number of how many people have had them graded that I will be able to find but I'm hoping someone here has more information on if there is any way to find this out. Thank you guys again for all your help. I owe all my knowledge thus far on the help of this community's members more than any other resource out there and I greatly appreciate all the help. You guys are the best! Thank you.

MD Or DD On Pennies Question

Old Post Posted 06/19/2023  01:26 am
I'm sorry, I had taken these pictures while sorting through an examining several hundred if not thousand pennies I have so I assumed it was machine doubling but posted these specific photos as an example as I see many Lincoln Memorial pennies with the same double like appearance. In fact, I see this type of doubling so frequently that I knew it couldn't be doubled die error by the frequency of this type of characteristic on man pennies I have examined. I didn't put this specific coin aside or make a note of what year and mint it originated from so I can't help with giving more information or photos at this time as I just was looking for a definitive answer on what this style of doubling would be considered and not this specific coin. You guys verified my thoughts but it's good to hear it from more experienced and informed people from this form as that's how I've obtained the majority of my knowledge thus far. Thank you guys appreciate your help as always.

So I'm still very new to this stuff and often see coins with this type of doubling. I assume it's MD but hoping DD lol. I know DD is supposed to widen the device while with MD, the devices usually remain same size as normal. Figured worth asking you guys so I can get an accurate answer and whatever tips and advice anyone might have. Thanks in advance!

2009 Formative Years Penny Die Clash Error

While roll hunting today I came across this formative years 2009 penny that at first I thought was stained or damaged but soon realized it actually is a die clash error. I tried looking online for example of it but I haven't been able to find any pictures or even mentions of one whatsoever. I know it's most likely not very valuable but it appears to be relatively rare I assume since I can't find any examples of it. Also being the only year they produced that reverse and not exclusively. The reverse can be seen clashed 2 different directions on the obverse from what I can see also the obverse can faintly be seen clashed on the reverse but very faintly. I'm sorry for the low quality pictures, I dont have the equipment to produce higher resolution photos currently. I have three regular formative years pennies but all appear relatively normal compared to this one. I thought you guys would like to have a look!
