Good morning. I am a new member to this community and would like to get opinions on a coin that appears both damaged and mint errored, but I don't quite know what I am looking at or looking for. Can someone give me a quick rundown of how/what to post or include in order to get most information I can and get the best use of this forum please? I would rather include all information needed initially rather than going back and forth a lot. Thank you kindly.

@cg, first welcome to CCF. Second, one of the best ways to figure out what you need to include is to look at several old threads and what sort of information was requested to be added. It will vary a bit depending on the specific issues with the coin, but I'd say common requests include a better description of what the OP is seeing, in-focus, close-up pics of the area of interest, the weight, and the diameter. I look forward to seeing what you have there.

Just one coin per thread. That way it is not confused when you have more that one. New ones often post damaged coins. They are not errors but damaged coins. So post one at a time. If you see others are the same thing, then don't bother posting them as the answer will be the same. Hope this helps. Look forward to your coin images.
