A good coin to learn about a variety of errors. More different type errors on this coin than any other coin I've seen. Granted my experience is limited.   |

It's a spender. A worn die issue. No errors. Also, there is a difference between errors and varieties. John1  |

I think that is an excellent example! I have a lot of messed up 80's cents but they never seem to be worth much. I guess there were just too many.

 Yep Years ago this would be spent for a gum ball. You have a good eye and good pics. Nice job. |

Again, great photos. I'm seeing Die Deterioration (reverse), split plating (reverse), an over-polished die (obverse on Abe's coat), perhaps a die chip in the date (19). |

Aside of a bit too much glare, nice pics. What is your set up? John1 |

I guess it depends on your definition/level of what is considered an error and whether or not that error is significant.
Myself, I would only be interested in an error that was caused directly by a human (e.g. clip, clash, broadstrike, etc.) not so much the unintentional (die deterioration, split plating, over-polishing, plating bubbles etc.).
Those are some nice pics.

More of a die polishing issue. The weakness on the coat was done to remove a clash mark. The other areas look normal from what I can see.

A Canon DSLR. Compact macro EF 50mm 1:2.5. All manual settings. I shoot in daylight and at night so getting the light right is most important. I use flash and a diffuser (one of my white cotton gloves over the flash). Tripod and remote shutter release. It really is a trial and error with all the settings. But I'm not shooting a charging bull. I was an amateur photographer long before I was an amateur numismatist. Thanks to all.

I think it is more of a DDD issue " Ridge Ring" and split copper plating. The split plating some say is caused by MD. John1 |
