The 1963 looks like Post Mint Damage to the date... the 64 looks like it is a very mild greased filled die. No extra value in my opinion. I am not an expert though.

I was thinking the same thing.
It is nice to know that I have learned something from
all of this. Thanks.

If you go to coin shows you would see minor errors such as the faded date coin selling for from $1 to $10.
At one coin show I go to there is a dealer that sells nothing but error coins. And he has lots like yours.

Are these really considered error coins? I never thought so. I have run across these before and I just let them go. Should I be keeping them?

The struck-through-grease coin is technically a mint error but not worth anything. IMO you need to have really strong examples of struck-through-grease to command a premium on a coin. The other one is PMD and wouldn't have any positive impact on any value. That's Two Cents right there. I come across lots of nickels that have weak dates from the struck-through-grease thing, and I'll keep the best examples mostly as a curiosity, but it's not worth it to me to post a $10 auction on ebay for it when it won't sell. Question is, how many do these sellers actually sell? I don't think anyone that knows what they are doing would pay for that unless it is a really unusual example. I did just check ebay and there are lots of auctions of exactly what you're saying. Crazy, but if people are willing to part with their cash, whatever. |

The struck-through-grease coin is technically a mint error but not worth anything. As I mentioned at coin shows all types of errors are becoming a bigger and bigger seller. There are more and more error collectors now. This is due to the popularity of coin collecting and many coins are just not available. So collectors are going into other modes such as type sets and error coins. At some coin shows the smallest of errors sells easily. One more thing is it is PENNY not PENNIE. Or is it?

I call it a cent.
I had no idea that anybody was really buying the error coins...I mean the ones with minor errors. But it is a lot of fun to look for errors and varieties.

With a large portion of the devices missing there is more interest. I save the extreme ones for educational material. I have a real nice one I post often:  |

coop  Yikes! I think I see a zero in the date but that's about it. I have to say that I get a real kick out seeing a coin like that. It's not the same as holding a really old coin and imagining where it's been, or admiring a really gorgeous coin...but nevertheless, I get a real kick out of these. Thanks for sharing!
