   I am in need of some evaluation on these coins as I have not been doing this for very long. -The first group of four pennies, would any be considered high relief and am I correct that they all have errors? -The second picture are of off colored coins. Are they worth anything? -The third and last picture is a 1965 nickel and does it have large denticles? I think it does. I counted 119 of them.

What type of errors do you believe they have? Cannot see anything out of the ordinary w/ the picture... need a bigger, higher def pic

Wheat cent is most likely from the war era, steel what used in the mixture.

1943 steel cent. 1943 tombac nickel. The Lincoln Cent was redesigned to restore more detail beginning 1969. The 1960-D is a large date and not a small date. |

The 1968, the 8 in the date is a blob. The 1960 looks like the rim is off on the left side thus putting the L into the rim. I posted the wrong 1969s and should have been this one below. It has different colors. Is that good or bad and what are they from?    Edited by If You Got the Money Honey

You would think, smaller beads there would be more. Darn!

The 68-D looks like PMD. The 60-D LD looks like a very mild MAD. The 69-S is just toned. The 66 nickel is toned,43 cent is zinc and looks normal in color,dime is just dirty,43 Canadian nickel is toned nicely.IMHO, John1  |

Thank you for your responses and help. I still haven't figured out what MAD means though. Doesn't sound like these coins are of any big deal. I do have this error coin that I do wonder if I should put it up for sale? Would this fetch me a pretty penny? (no pun intended) or is this coin also a no big deal?   |

That last one looks like PMD. Post Mint Damage. The coins you have are nothing special and would not sell but always worth a try on ebay. |

I almost wanted to agree with just carl on the above photo, but this one is a lamination. Laminations are caused by a bad mixture of the metal in the coin. Looks at first like PMD, but there is a retained part of the lamination still present over the bottom of the T in CENT. Very dramatic lamination; unfortunately these are not all that uncommon and this one might be worth a dollar or two. |

MAD= Misaligned Die. I would like to see a pic of the obverse of that possible LAM. John1 Edited by John1

If I am correct I think a MAD like the one on the 60D will take away grades and is not severe enough to add collector value.

Yep, the last one is a lamination
Is your name by any chance a reference to Guns N' Roses?
