Thank you. I would like to know what I'm seeing when I look thru my coins. This is most likely the best way to learn the difference between MD and DD. Grease Stains and Dbl denomination, etc etc

The best way to learn about error comes not from looking for errors, but rather learning how the mint produces coins, Right now you're doing the process backwards. How do you know what an error coin looks like if you don't learn what the coins should look like? Error coins are not very common, in fact, they are rare! Study how the mint produces coins first, then study error coins, you'll have a much more rewarding experience. Bonne chance!

Possible cup holder coin. Not a plus for the coin. Just a spender. Weight is probably normal.
