rja_nyc_nmc New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 4:16 pm All, My wife and I are BRAND NEW to coin collecting and are so excited. We inherited a BUNCH of coins from her dear father who passed away. So, wehave decided to start this new hobby. We ordered many books and are reading reading reading. But my eyes are untrained and I know that I don't know what I dont know, so I thought I'd ask a few questions here on this thread because we are both very interested in coin errors. I hope it's ok to post some pictures and ask whay you all think. So, here are pics from the Obverse/Reverse of my Minnesota Quarter. I found what SEEMS to be soe serious die breaks(?). Especially interesting to me is a very clean nick on the top and bottom of the reverse that are in a straight line to each other. There are all kinds of scraps, nicks, and what looks like the top layer peeled off (e.g., on jaw of face). I'll just upload a few of the images of some of the "errors" (?). Obviously, I alos have NO IDEA if this is worth anything. LoL. Thanks in advance for any answers. This is very fun. Report this Post to the Staff

Christian18 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 5:28 pm Looks like post mint damage to me. http://www.error-ref.com This is a great resource for looking up possible errors. If a coin doesn't look like anything on there it is likely just damage. Report this Post to the Staff

rja_nyc_nmc New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 6:26 pm WOW... And I was so sure I had some die breaks because some are so cleanly cut and to my stupid untrained eye they look the same. LoL. I need to train my eye to see the difference between mint errors and just PMD. THANK YOU! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 7:37 pm 1. Die cracks and breaks rise above the fields and design areas. 2. Incuse marks on a coin are usually 99% of the time appearing as damage. (only 1% are mint errors) 3. The area in front of the face is showing a struck through oil with some grit in the mixture.
