Are you sure about coin #1? because to me that looks like it was caused by a vice, PMD.

Huh? A vice? Look at the forehead, see the E, it's the latin on the reverse. The reverse has been stamped on the front and the obverse on the back. I'm not sure what you would call that.

Not from a vice, both sides have letters/numbers, and the front, the rim is raised (see pic 3 of coin 1). Anyways, what about the other ones? Descriptions/values?

I cannot believe that the first coin is PMD, and the second coin is a horizontal D RPM, not PMD. I'm posting it because I wanted a second opinion on value. The stuff you see inside the second D is some fuzz, which I need to clean out.

The stuff you see inside the second D is some fuzz, which I need to clean out. The extra lettering is incused and a mirror image "backwards". Undeniably the result of another coin being pressed or hammered into this coin, Blind Freddy can tell that this coin is 100% PMD.

You ask for opinions, then argue about those opinions? What a piece of work. The first two coins are NOT errors. The first was don in a vise like others have stated. If it was a true error the wording would be raised and not mirrored. It would read the same as the reverse because it would have been stamped by the die just like the reverse was. Coin number 2 is nothing more than plating issues with zinc rot. It is NOT an RPM. It is impossible to be an RPM as RPM ceased in 1989 because in 1990 the mint mak was part of the master die and no longer hand stamped into the working dies. Do not ask for opinions if you are unwilling to accept the truth from educated members trying to help you.

Redifin:Coins 1 and 2 are not errors.1 is a vise job as fuzzy317 said. It is possible for a coin to flip over and get re-struck but the lettering would face the correct direction and be raised not incused and reversed as on your coin. Number 2 is just zinc rot. The next two are off center strikes and should get a few bucks. The last coin looks to be struck through a capped die. I suggest checking ebay sold listings for pricing ideas.

Seal006, thank you very much for explaining why they are not error coins, however rude it may have been, you were the first to explain it to me. I suppose now I believe that both of these are not error coins. Thank you for your advice as you are an educated member, and I am willing to accept your knowledge...but I DO NOT accept your disrespect. If you tried to help me in any way, you failed, your advice has been negated. *** this is a family friendly site, please watch your tone ***
Thank you very much DrDon for giving me your sound advice and help with all the coins.

Redfin, Fuzzy was the first to respond to your thread. He stated that coin 1 was a vise job. He is a moderator. You cannot respect the word of a moderator? That was the main reason for my tone. I am tired of seeing folks on CCF ask for opinions or advise and then argue with that opinion or advise. I am not here to gain anyone's respect. I offer my educated opinions freely. What one chooses to do with that is up to them. It is no loss to me.

You had been given an honest opinion by some members and then you argued the points about these opinions. I think the disrespect has been done by you in doing so. If you ask for an opinion It will be given freely and honestly, Just accept them for what they are. Flaming members like seal will do you NO good whatsoever. We have on many occasions had people posting PMD coins that they want to sell on ebay and after getting honest and accurate opinions on these coins go ahead and list them anyway KNOWING they are PMD and NOT errors.

MY POINT was that he was being rude to me, and the first poster nor the second for that matter, EXPLAINED it to me, but he did...in a very rude way, albeit, free of charge. How was I supposed to know that poster 1 and 2 thought it was PMD? With out any see-able or explainable proof. That was why I questioned their opinions, because I did not understand. I questioned them to seek more of an answer/s. I do not see how I 'flamed' seal. I simply explained my displeasure with his tone/harsh yet free opinion giving. I would of happily accepted the answers for what they were, if they had satisfied by topic's original question, since they didn't, I kept on with the questions. Trout, please do not take my actions as disrespectful as they were done seeking knowledge. If I can't question 'educated members,' or 'moderators' for that matter, then there is no point in a message board, because that's what message boards like this one are for....for users to ask any amount of questions as they want.

The rim damage is concerning on coin 5. Could a strike through die cap cause rim damage ? Experts?

I did state that "looks like it was caused by a vice, PMD." and I should have explained in more detail.
