Hey, I'm new to this but I'm very eager to learn more about penny errors. I found a few that I can't identify so I was hoping some people here might be able to help? Thanks in advance for taking a look.   |

 to CCF. This coin was put into jewelry. Then taken out and put into circulation. It is post mint damage |

Mind if I pick your brain again? I noticed some damage to the rim at 11 o'clock.  |

The wheat took a few hits and the 1978 either got partially ran over by something or flattened by something

1978 squashed in a vise. It would have to be run over by a steam roller to make damage like that. |

The first cent that you posted looks to be a little of center, not enough to make it more valuable but still is a coin I would keep.

The first coin was squeezed into a bezel/holder that damaged the coin. So what you are seeing is the damage after the coin was removed. If you have a coin in a holder, leave it there. Almost all value goes away when they are removed. So if you plan to sell, take the money you get for the holdered coin and buy a BU coin.

Hey! So I found this yellow penny. What do you think? Could it have been dipped in something?

It might be an altered coin or a plating issue. I've seen what they call brass plated examples.   With so much tampering with coins and the condition, it is hard to say which. |
