Need Validation Of Possible Error Pennies

to the Community!

Well click on this link: CoopHome : Note it is blue in color. It will have you to a thread of different threads I added information to or created my self. There are different subject discussed with thousands of images with explanations of what to look for and what is not something you think it is. It is a long project to read them all, but it will help you learn faster that way. There are three pages on this thread. Some are repeated. So start with page 2. (probably where it will take you)

Hi again. Ok so sorry for the late response. Like I said this is all so new to me as far as forums go. The Penny I posted pics of is a 1990 to answer John1's question. And thank you for all of the information. I must say that I new that there was a massive amount of info on error coins but you have just added more than my mind can comprehend. It has actually kind of taken the fun out of it for me and this is something I have thrived on for years. I even have a tattoo of a Penny on my foot. I just don't understand how there are so many different little tiny errors where one error looks the same as 15 others yet they all have their very own name and worth nothing. It's like someone somewhere took this hobbie and made it way to serious. So serious that it's almost silly. I highly respect every single knowledgeable person who offers me information but I'm more confused now than I've ever been. Do you all focus strictly on one type of error or one type of coin? Maybe I'm too scattered and need some better direction. Also I am posting pics of the same coin again but have circled what it is that I see with the idea that maybe your seeing something different because I don't understand how what I'm seeing can be split Copper plating and zinc rot. Again, forgive my ignorance but if I don't express my issues I'll continue to be ignorant and I would like a better understanding.

It's important to know the different errors and varieties because although they can look similar, they all happen very differently. Like how MD can look like a DDO, but they're very different.
