ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 11/04/2020 8:16 pm Given the photos posted, it's difficult to see if anything somewhat minor is going on--such as smallish die cracks or die chips, or such. With that, these coins are worth about 2-6 cents each given they are '40s and their less-than-optimal condition. Report this Post to the Staff
jttcrm2020 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 11/04/2020 8:37 pm Thank you! I had a very hard time with the pics. Is there a place to go learn how to identify errors? I have alot of 50s 60s and 70s too but if I can find the errors myself I wont have to ask so many questions Report this Post to the Staff

The error-ref website is also a really good source of information.
