When you say your son doesn't have interest in it anymore are you talking about collecting?
One thing to stay interested in collecting is not only looking for errors. If you find some old coins that look like they are in really nice shape save them in a coin book and see if you can build a set of all years/mint marks constantly updating your book with the best looking coins you can find. In case you didn't know you can also look for silver coins in certain years in denominations of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars. If you didn't know this you can find the years listed on websites. This can keep you excited when you haven't been finding any error coins. In my opinion it's really cool to have bits of history besides just errors.

Slamnbass: I think it was in reply to my suggestion to keep an eye out for silver coins as well. teachmind111: That's great! I've seen you post nickels before, you're aware of silver War Nickels too? They are 1942-1945 with a large mint mark above the Monticello. The 1942 no mint mark is not silver. Also keep an eye out for proof coins, I'm sure if you found any you would know immediately and save it. These are just some tips for staying motivated to collect. I love finding things like this. They might not have such a significant value but they are still pretty neat to have. Another tip is to flip coins to check if they have any rotation. Significant rotation is somewhere above 20/30 degrees or so since this is not within mint standards. Edited by BlueSolo

The first coin with the circles on it, looks like the marks in the fields may have been from an over polishing of the fields to remove a clash. Here is an overlay of what may have happened to the die that struck your coin:  Not the leaves and the wing may have left clash marks in that area and a polishing removed the clash and part of the die edge of the bust in those areas. |
