thank you Coop! Finally someone schooled me properly. there are a lot of people out there trying to sell coins on ebay and Letgo claiming to be doubled die coins that I now know are not. I can now put all those coins that I thought were doubled back into circulation with the exception of the clipped 1971 d half. would you mind looking at a couple of pics of an 1898 gold $5 liberty head? I'm interested in what grade you think it may be.

If the coin is worth more than $100, then you might want to slab it. Then you will know for sure what grade it is. So when you sell it you won't get a kick in the pants or give someone else a kick in the pants that buy the coin. You get an aprox grade from using the PCGS coin grading images:
https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/
Keep in mind that a scratched coin/damage/bent problem coin will not grade as high because the an issue with the coin. Some graders will often give a 'Genuine' grade on the slab if the coin has a cleaning or what other issue that they body bag a coin for. You can pick the selections to find your type of coin. Pretty easy to see what ball park it would be in. But probably a gold coin would be worth grading.

Thank you for the information. I have been looking into become a member of either NGC or PCGS. scratch the pics of the Liberty Head. my USB microscope doesn't allow me to take a pic of the coin as a whole.one last thing, pics of a 1999 d penny with a crack through Lincoln's head.

Looks like a die crack, often referred to when it goes through Lincoln's head as a "spiked" head.

Tootilliciuos!

ebay and P.T. Barnum = "There's a sucker born every minute". Some buy these "error" coins having become convinced by the hype of rags advertising becoming independently wealthy from coins in your pocket. As you've discovered, these are quite often found in circulation, that means "common" "errors". I emphasize those words purposefully. . The moreommon a coin is, the less collect ability it has, less worth. The error is a common machining problem caused by normal wear, not wholly a striking "error" such as Broad strikes, or off-center strikes which are one-of-a-kind errors. Errors as cracks, Cuds and cruds(my term) will replicate "similar" impressions, either progressively worsening or being removed with die maintenance. The frequency of the crack, Cud, crud errors makes for interesting differences and surely is collectable for those few interested. It is my view it it a numismatic fad. These errors have been around since coins were first made, why just now is it being touted as a moneymaking venture? The Shield nickel series has many of these very errors due to the hardness of planchet destroying dies. Only now, have these coins become in high dollar demand. Ah, but as with Bell bottom pants and Afro haircut, the "fads" die out, things return to normal...maybe...

Thank you Crazyb0!! I'm beginning to notice that more and more. The only reason why I have become interested in coins is because when my grandfather passed in 1979 he left his coin collection to my mother who passed away in Febuary. There is a lot of coins to go through and the three that I do know for sure that have value are, a 1905 $2.50 gold Liberty head, a 1898 $5 Liberty head, and a 1913 s type 2 Indian head nickel. I will keep bank roll hunting and checking my pocket change. I'll post again when I find something interesting. Again, thank you all for your helpful and knowledgable advice!!
