I was essentially given a 'collection' of error coins, that were collected in the late 60's or early 70's. Most of them are nothing more then interesting curiosities, but three had me wondering. I'm leaving them in their flips/holders for posterity's sake, so forgive the image quality.

First up is a 1960-D Jefferson nickel with what looks like a lamination strike through on the obverse, and a badly greased die on the reverse?

Next up is a 1956-D Lincoln Wheat with an odd rim. The flip says it's 'rimless', but I can't decide if it's a mint/planchet error, or if this cent was in one of those 'Lucky Penny' holders, or the like.

And last but not least (for now), is a 1967 LMC that was labeled as 1967/1967 Shift Cent. I'm guessing it's MD, but something looks odd about it. The two images show the area of interest, with lighting from 12:00 and 3:00. The 3:00 shows the doubling better. Also, I've included the envelope the coin came in, which shows that the previous owner paid $25 for it back in the day. $25 even in the early '70's was a decent amount of cash, so that had me questioning it even more so, but that really doesn't mean anything.

That Nickel you have, that error is call "split-level error. It is rare and valuble. It worth a high premium. Maybe 40.00 or more. :)

The 56 was an Encased Cent, one of the good luck charms.

The 67 is calledvSlow bounce MD. On the date, the 6&9 are fat, the die was moving at angle and had slight bounce, little pressure, not enough to form a shelf. This is the one form of MD that doesn't reduce the size of the details...just read this today, as matter of fact!

with CrazyB0 on the 1956-D Lincoln Wheat cent. Someone at one point had it in a jewelry piece for a necklace, broach, bracelet etc and now that it has been freed it is just worth the copper value.

Unlike E & V - I think the nickel is just PMD - Hope I am wrong on this though as the other opinion is much more desirable.

The 1967 LC I believe is MD but a really good one - if I had come across it I would definitely have it as a keeper.

Just my opinions and you will have many more.

I think I'm going to agree with E&V, split planchet. I found this which looks very similar on both obverse and reverse: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-D-5c-S...AOSwIhxZatI-

Here is my Two Cents,the 67 is MD and the 56 is a former Encased Cent and the nickel looks like PSD. Look at the obverse rims on the slabbed coin and then compare it to Beefer518 coin. I am sure we will need coop or Mike on this one.

I agree with John1. The nickel is the keeper. The other are PSD and MD in that order.

Why would you keep the nickel coop? Are you saying it is an error?

The Nickel is a keeper because it's a rare error coin. It's a Split-Planchet error worth big money.
