wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 07:23 am It IS a collection, if that was your goal. A collection is subjective. It may also be worth something to you, not necessarily to other collectors though. Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 07:33 am Doesn't appear to be anything of numismatic value here. The New Hampshire quarter has post- mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19112 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 07:55 am If you like what you've pulled together, it's your collection. I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. The Apostle Islands quarter may have dried gunk on the obverse, can't quite tell given this posted pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 08:38 am Bursting bubbles!!!! I agree that if it's something you love, it's a collection. I intend to start a new thread to discuss my experience with the common "bursting bubble" comments of some online members. It is my personal opinion, and I simply wanted to share! Enjoy your journey and take things with a grain of salt if you don't want to loose your interest and passion for coins. Report this Post to the Staff

The 2018 D Wisconsin-Apostle Islands quarter is definitely not dried gunk. I believe it to be a a very weak strike and sintered planchet on obverse and a small spot of staining on date on reverse.

jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 09:36 am The extreme shallowness of relief and corrosion pattern don't mean anything? Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 09:42 am Quote: The extreme shallowness of relief and corrosion pattern don't mean anything? The coin shown just previous to this post did not come out of the mint that way. The mint does not issue corroded coins. Corrosion happens outside of the mint. The six coins in the original post ARE a collection. They are a collection of corroded, discolored, and damaged coins. As you gain experience you will be able to tell what is an error from the mint and what is PMD (post mint damage). You came to the right place to begin that learning and gain that experience.

Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 11:41 am just a collection of PMD coins. Most new coins have a low relief, compare newer coins, like a 1999 quarter or newer vs a 1998 or older quarter, the new ones are a low relief while the older ones are a high relief.

(less of a vid to fill) But sorry to say, these are regretfully just damaged coins. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 6:11 pm If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. If you want to find an error coin, you have to know what an actual mint error is. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

jvcv_0 Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 05:00 am Yes sure I know the 2018 quarter has a lower obverse relief than earlier versions. I specifically said it was "extreme". Compare it to this normal quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
