NHCoinsearch New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/21/2020 5:48 pm The coins appeared to have been damaged in the minting process. Any thoughts if these error/damaged coins have a place with collectors! Certain ones I find in pocket change are interesting due to the damage appears to have been done while in the processes at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73932 Posts	Posted 01/21/2020 5:59 pm Sorry, but nope. They didn't even happen in the minting process. All of them are damaged outside of the U.S Mint and are worth one cent each. You need to educate yourself on the actual minting process. Try this site. http://www.error-ref.com Not trying to come across harsh, but you need to know that these coins are simply damaged. Errers and Varietys.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/21/2020 7:06 pm Generally speaking, the only damaged coins that have value, are also those that are known rarities. Depending on the extent and severity of the damage, the value of such a coin would be worth anywhere from 10% to around 50% of the value of the equivalent undamaged coin.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2020 8:35 pm When buying an auto, would damage to the potential vehicle, raised or lower the value of the vehicle? Same with coins. Even the least amount of damage to a coin will lower collectable value. Even cleaning the coin incorrectly could drop the a lot. Best to save the best, spend the rest. If you would not buy a coin you have in hand, spend it. (I don't even look at them, I just put them back to work. Report this Post to the Staff
